All the Pigs, All Lined Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Step right up, march, push
Crawl right up on your knees
Please, greed, feed (no time to hesitate)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I want a little bit
I want a piece of it
I think he's losing it
I want to watch it come down
Don't like the look of it
Don't like the taste of it
Don't like the smell of it
I want to watch it come down

[Chorus]
All the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
Take the skin and peel it back
Now doesn't it make you feel better?

[Verse 2]
Shove it up inside, surprise, lies
Stains like the blood on your teeth
Bite, chew, suck away the tender parts

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I want to break it up
I want to smash it up
I want to fuck it up
I want to watch it come down
Maybe afraid of it
Let's discredit it
Let's pick away at it
I want to watch it come down

[Chorus]
All the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
Take the skin and peel it back
Now doesn't it make you feel better?

[Bridge]
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?
Don't you feel a whole lot better?

[Outro]
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up
And all the pigs are all lined up

Genius Annotation

This version of “March of the Pigs” is entirely in 4/4 and has an extended ending that incorporates the lyric “Don’t you feel a whole lot better?”. It’s also much less guitar-oriented, with extra synth layers added as well as additional crowd noises and pig squeals that are not prominent in the original. It ends in a loud, distorted drum pattern before collapsing to noise feedback, which segues directly into “A Violet Fluid”.
