lyrics

(WARNING: EXPLICIT LYRICS)

(Chorus)
The future of humanity
Relies on fighting hate with love and peace and empathy
Stand up for lives that don’t have a choice
Speak up for those who have no voice

(Rap – Verse 1)
I’m the Notorious P.I.G.
That’s P.I.G. in capitals see?
‘Cos my name shouts out for your attention
It says “wake up humans and smell my bacon”
It’s time to listen to what I have to say
So don’t all try to hide or run away
Cos I have some questions that I’m gonna ask
So sit down humans until I complete this task
For yeah, I’m one angry intelligent creature
That’s what years of confinement and abuse does to ya
First question: ‘What is the Human Kind?’
Let me answer that with a piece of my mind
For a start. Right? An oxymoron
Two opposing words to show you how you got that wrong
Please tell me what is kind about the human race?
So come on, step forward and let’s hear your case

(Rap – Verse 2)
What’s that? Is there silence in your house?
Well here’s an observation from the slaughterhouse
Human Kind’s an animal that’s so blood-thirsty
Do you have the capacity to show kindness and mercy?
Those behaviours require developed IQ
Which your ‘Kind’ refer to
As ‘empathy’
But us P.I.G’s ain’t received none of that
So you certainly do not get
Our sympathy
All we experience is suffering and pain
From neglect and abuse which YOU’RE to blame.
What’s that? Oh? Did one of you say something?
“It’s not my fault. I ain’t done nothing!”
Well, there we have it! You ain’t done nothing
I find your apathy deeply disturbing
Not to mention shocking and disappointing
So it IS because of you we’ll continue with our suffering

(Chorus)
The future of humanity
Relies on fighting hate with love and peace and empathy
Stand up for lives that don’t have a choice
Speak up for those who have no voice

(Rap – Verse 3)
If violent delights have violent ends
Which part of ‘murder’ don’t you comprehend?
YOU are the freak of nature
YOU are the nature’s raper
For I ain’t inferior
‘an you sure as hell ain’t superior
‘Cos YOU ain’t unique hon’
You are the weak one
Remember this when you come to us and try to get your freak on
(no no nono no no nooo, no no nono no no nooo)
Remember this when you come to us ‘cos clearly YOU’RE the ‘Freak One’
Keep spending most our lives
Factory farms ain’t no paradise

(Chorus)
The future of humanity
Relies on fighting hate with love and peace and empathy
Stand up for lives that don’t have a choice
Speak up for those who have no voice

(Rap – Verse 4)
Now, I don’t normally like to swear and cuss
It’s a rap song. Really? It’s too obvious
I think it’s about time I made a fuss
So are you ready? It goes like thus:
If you give an itsy bitsy teeny weeny mother-fucking flying fuck?
Would the real members of your ‘KIND’ please show themselves and stand the fuck up?
That’s right I said ‘stand the fuck up’
I’m inviting you to ‘stand the fuck up’
Would the real members of your ‘KIND’ please show themselves and stand the fuck up?
What? Wait? STILL no takers?
No one in your house? No peacemakers?
Why’s that? Are you all asleep?
Or deaf? Or blind? Oh yeah, you’re sheep!

(Rap - Verse 5)
Now it all makes sense ‘cos you follow the herd
Never question stuff never say a word
It’s happened before for members of your own species
Women and blacks; those written out of history
How long can you ignore the mistreatment and atrocities
This cannot continue. They’re facts; don’t gloss over these
So stop what you are doing ‘cos YOU’RE the perpetrator
YOU hold the power: YOU are the consumer
Choose carefully where you spend your dollar
Vote with your dough we can end this horror
But then it’s so much easier to go home instead
Pull the covers right over your drugged up head
As you lie there protected in your rose bed
It’s far easier to put on your ostrich head
But if nothing improves then nothing changes
Do you realize your mind is being manipulated?
So stick it in the sand
Don’t wanna understand
And carry on - ignore me instead
Repeat: Stick it in the sand
Don’t wanna understand
Carry on - ignore me instead
Stick it in the sand
Don’t wanna understand
Go on, put on your ostrich head
Go on, put on your ostrich head
Go on, put on your ostrich head
Go on, put on your ostrich head
