lyrics

I'm gathering up all you pigs cause you seem to be cut loose
and the rope is set tight when your neck is in the noose
then i'm gonna hang you up from fifty stories high
so everyone can watch the life drain out your helpless eyes
I'm gathering up all you pigs cause you seem to be cut loose
and the rope is set tight when your neck is in the noose
then i'm gonna hang you up from fifty stories high
so everyone can watch the life drain out your helpless eyes

the story is out the news is tellin' lies
rather lose all doubt than kill and terrorize
we've seen this all before, it's happening once more
we ask what for, we ask what for

I'm gathering up all you pigs cause you seem to be cut loose
and the rope is set tight when your neck is in the noose
then i'm gonna hang you up from fifty stories high
so everyone can watch the life drain out your helpless eyes

so here we are, face to face
i've done nothin' wrong yet you threaten to taze me
unless i get down and place my hands on my head
but i know if i do, i'm as good as dead

you said i have rights, and yet they're refused
take one off for us and another for you
you said i have rights, and yet they're refused
take one off for us and another for you

he chased me through this alley
following his precious merchandise
that's when i threw the pig in for a deep surprise
i pulled out my knife, shimmered in the night sky
thats when i stabbed him numerously in the chest and side
in the cold glare of his friends stared back at me
they could tell i was serious and the blood ran to his feet
and he soon figured out that this wasn't for pretend
as i took the knife and plunged it straight into him

i knelt down and grabbed his badge and held it proud and high
so everyone could see that i had claimed my prize
i knelt down and grabbed his badge and held it proud and high
so everyone could see that i had claimed my prize

riot
