lyrics

I see you've copped a little attitude
And now you're dancing to a brand new tune
You're kissing up and kicking down
By the light of a pale blue moon

The stars have all aligned for you
The doors have opened and you're rushing in
To get your fill of all the thrills
And the extravagance within

Well you might do well to remember this
Hear the wisdom in these words
They say that pigs get fat
But hogs, they get slaughtered

I know it's such a drag to think about
I know you'd rather I just shut my mouth
But who d'ya think they're going to cut
When the carving knife comes out

So you'll have more than anyone could want
So much more than anyone could need
To feed your piggy appetite
And to spread your fickle seed

And the sycophants will sing your hymns
While the hungry will ache and moan
To be where you now want to be
Atop a gaudy golden throne

Well, you might do well to remember this
Hear the wisdom in these words
They say that pigs get fat
But hogs, they get slaughtered

I know it's such a drag to think about
I know you'd rather I just shut my mouth
But who d'ya think they're going to cut
When the carving knife comes out
Yeah, who d'ya think they're going to cut
When the carving knife comes out
Just who d'ya think they're going to cut
When the carving knife comes out
