In the shadowy corners of society's power corridors, Pink Floyd exposes the grotesque caricatures of greed and hypocrisy through a triptych of scornful portraits. Each verse in this biting satire skewers a different societal figure - the greedy businessman, the morally bankrupt woman, and a political leader cloaked in deceit. The repeated chorus mocks these characters as mere facades, or charades, revealing that beneath their laughable exteriors lies a deeper cry of emptiness and corruption. Through sharp lyrics and haunting melodies, the song serves as a mirror reflecting the grim realities of societal decay, urging listeners to look beyond superficial appearances to uncover the truth 🎭.
Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Lyrics
Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
Bus stop rat bag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
Hey you, Whitehouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You got to stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry
