Looking at the little piggies strutting in a row Living in the shadows for a brother just to grow Lying like a devil, they stand waiting in a fire Stuck inside a prison, wall of concrete and barbed wire I never really ever thought I'd make it out alive They tried to keep me in a trick, so I would not survive The devil has a sneaky way of keeping a brother down But now that I'm laughing in his face, I'm writing this song out
Somebody's watching Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching me, too Somebody's watching Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching me, too Yeah
See there's really nothing, but a punk that's dressed in drag (And you know that's right) But they act just like a bunch of bitches who are on the rag (Yeah) If anyone who's been there, can relate to what I say But now that I'm free, you see, I'm having it my way (That's right) So look at all the little piggies standing in a row Waiting in the shadows for a brother just to glow Lying like a devil, they stand waiting in a fire But stuck inside a prison, wall of concrete and barbed wire
