Hobo Johnson - Prequel to Animal Farm Lyrics

And the pig was born on the farm
And the people there did him much harm
And, and his pig family too
The pig was born on this farm
The people there did him much harm
And his pig family too

And as he got older, they taught him
To never really worry about the problems
And the deplorable phrase, "That's just life"
And as he got older, they taught him
To never really worry about the problems
And the deplorable phrase, "That's just life"

He looked around, didn't like what he saw
Animals cold and sad in their stalls
All dreading the next days' work
He looked around, didn't like what he saw
Animals cold and sad in their stalls
Dreading the next days' work

And at work, he grits his teeth
And counts the minutes until he leaves
And it hurts his soul
At work, he grits his teeth
And counts the minutes until he leaves
And it hurts his soul

The pig was born on this farm
The people there did him much harm
And his pig family too

He decides that he must speak up
For the pigs and the dogs and the ducks
That this is no way to live
He decides that he must speak up
For the pigs and the dogs and the ducks
That this is no way to live

He asked, if they work all day
And make about as much as it takes
To survive, then what really are they?
He asked if they work all day
And make about as much as it takes
To survive, then what really are they?

No life is perfect nor just
But something better out there is a must
'Cause this shit's fucked
Life isn't perfect or just
But something better out there is a must
'Cause this shit's fucked

And the pig gets older and dies
And as the life drains out of his eyes
He hears a pig getting born outside
And the pig gets older and dies
As the life drains out of his eyes
A pig is born outside

The pig was born on this farm
The people there did him much harm
And his pig family too
And the pig gets older and dies
As the life drains out of his eyes
A pig is born outside
The pig was born on this farm
The people there did him much harm
And his pig family too
And the pig gets older and dies
As the life drains out of his eyes
A pig is born outside
The pig was born on this farm
The people there did him much harm
And his pig family too
