lyrics
Throwing pearls amongst the swine x2
Who is mad the world or me?
Fat fingers squeeze tobacco, cigar-shaped
Who will crumble?
They recognise the bliss, his sister calls him thick
They recognise the bliss, his sister calls him sick
He takes another beating, from the big bad shovel
He takes another beating from the big bad shovel
From the big bad wolf, from the big bad wolf
He hits them hard, hits them with spades
He hits them hard, hits them with spades
The poor pigs they can’t fight back
The poor pigs they can’t fight back
And when they see him they gets scared
I’d like to hit him, hit him hard
I’d like to hurt him, hurt him bad
I’d like to hit him, hit him hard
I’d like to hurt him, hurt him bad
He sees the softness in the bristle, the pure in the dirt
He sees the softness in the bristle, the pure in the dirt
But sister sees the grease, my sister wipes the plate
My sister sees the grease, I lick my platter clean
Who is mad the world or me
To pig man this plain to see
Throwing pearls before the swine
Pig man…
Who is mad the world or me
To pig man this plain to see
Throwing pearls before the swine
Pig man…
Little piggies, come out to play….
Trick or treat piggies, trick or treat piggies
We’re all dead meat piggies
All dead meat piggies…
