Allin's lyrics, which often included misogyny, racism, social apathy, child abuse, incest, rape and homophobia, deeply divided opinions of him within the highly politicized punk community. He is best remembered for his notorious live performances that typically featured wildly transgressive acts. Some of these acts included Allin defecating and urinating onstage, rolling in feces and often consuming excrement, committing self-injury, performing naked, taunting people to perform fellatio on him and committing violent actions toward the audience. Although more notorious for his stage antics than for his wide body of music, he recorded prolifically, not only in the punk rock genre, but also in spoken word, country and Rolling Stones-influenced rock. Though he had a devoted cult following, Allin's music has received mostly negative reviews from critics.

Legalize Murder
GG Allin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I won't, maybe I will
Put the gun up to your head
Blow you away
Fucking pigs, legalize
Fucking pigs, legalize
Fucking pigs, legalize
I heard you say I'm that crazy man
Son of a bitch with a gun in his hand
You're gonna know who I am today
I'm your enemy
It's all out war on my war path
A lethal kill, a savage blood bath
Stick a dagger deep in your chest
As life fades away
In a pool of blood, where you belong
In a dead dead heap, on the cold cold ground
Watch you squirm, watch you murmur
Fucking pigs, legalize murder
Fucking pigs, legalize
Fucking pigs, legalize
Fucking pigs, legalize
Legalize, legalize murder
So many people I want to kill
Maybe I won't, maybe I will
Put the gun up to your head
And blow you away
I heard you say I'm that crazy man
Son of a bitch with a gun in his hand
You're gonna know who I am today
I'm your enemy... enemy!
It's all out war on my war path
A lethal kill, a savage blood bath
Stick a dagger deep in your chest
As life fades away
In a pool of blood, where you belong
In a heap on the cold cold ground
Watch you squirm, watch you murmur
Fucking pigs, legalize murder
The lyrics to GG Allin's song "Legalize Murder" depict the violent and disturbed thoughts of the singer regarding the act of killing others. The opening lines indicate that the singer has a desire to kill many people but is unsure whether or not they will act on those violent impulses. The use of the phrase "Blow you away" coupled with the image of a gun being put up to someone's head creates a chillingly violent scene.
The chorus of the song, "Fucking pigs, legalize / Legalize, legalize murder," is a direct attack on law enforcement and the justice system, suggesting that the singer believes that murder should be legal. This sentiment is repeated multiple times throughout the song, reinforcing the violent and anti-establishment beliefs of the singer.
The second verse is particularly gruesome, with descriptions of a "lethal kill" and "savage blood bath." The imagery of stabbing someone with a dagger and watching them squirm is undeniably disturbing. The repetition of "fucking pigs" and "legalize murder" only adds to the violent and confrontational nature of the song.

Legalize, legalize murder
I demand that homicide be considered as a legal activity
