about

Taken from 'Punishment Essay Volume III - Memento Mori'

Nation of pigs is a riotous, unflinching and sneering juggernaut of a track, rooted deep in the troubles of modern times. While a nation revels in an undeserved self image, the worrying and disgusting self belief has become as much of an albatross around our necks as a corrupt and vile government at the helm.

lyrics

Heads up people!
Yes you at the back
The vocal majority with hearts so black

Shaved head,
Beer gut
Looking so sad

Pissing on your country while you are waving a flag

And you cant see people
Or reason
Or humanity

You vote for opinions that you read in a rag
The writings on the wall but

We never looked so good

Heads up people!
I know it's a drag
But our backs are in the corner and it is looking bad

They raise the cost of living
But your wages freeze
They won't stop squeezing till you are down on your knees

And they cant see people
Or reason
Or humanity

You can't stage a protest
Or you are breaking the law

The writing is on the wall but

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs

Another politician thinks they are holding the cards
I doubt for a second he can get it hard
The world is on fire so they cut down the trees
To sell that gold to the land of the free

And we can't see people
Or reason
Or humanity

The kids keep killing because you are selling them guns

The writing is on the wall but

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs

We never looked so good
We are a nation of pigs
