The Beatles
This song, written mostly by George Harrison, is one extended metaphor for capitalists.
This song is based on George Orwell’s book Animal Farm, which uses a farm as a symbolism for communism in which the pigs become dictators. Harrison portrays the same scenario but with capitalism.
The sound on...
[Verse 1]
Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies, life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in
[Verse 2]
Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in
[Bridge]
In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their life, there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Everywhere there's lots of piggies living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner with their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon
[Outro]
One more time
