The Walls Have Teeth
He Is Legend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There has been an accident at the house built out of sticks
I will miss that little piggy
I can't believe this

Write this down and tell the world that the wolf has been found
When he dreams he dreams of flawless escape
Won't you try to get out of the way
Wait this is a cover up.

There has been one more victim
But I don't know his name
And the wolf has got a taste for bacon
But it's just a part of the game
When he dreams he dreams of flawless escape
Won't you try to get out of the way

Wait! This is a cover up
Let me see him
Alert the press!
Where is the warden?
Where is the wolf?
I've got to find him





Whenever you want it you can come and get it
Whenever you want him you can come and get him

Overall Meaning

The first verse of this song references the children’s story of the Three Little Pigs, who built houses made of sticks, straw, and bricks. There has been an accident at the house built out of sticks, and the singer will miss "that little piggy." The second line, "I can’t believe this," suggests that the singer is in shock and disbelief about what has happened. The next line, "Write this down and tell the world that the wolf has been found," is a call to action, implying that the incident was caused by the infamous wolf from the story. The wolf is a metaphor for something dangerous that threatens to destroy the vulnerable and the weak.


In the chorus, the singer warns listeners to stay out of the way of the wolf's escape, implying that he is coming for revenge. The line "this is a cover-up" might suggest that there is a conspiracy to protect the wolf or cover up what he has done.


In the second verse, we learn that there has been another victim, and the wolf has taken a taste for bacon. The "game" mentioned might refer to the hunter vs. prey dynamic in the story, or it could be a metaphor for real-world power struggles where the strong prey on the weak. The chorus repeats, with the singer trying to warn people to get out of the way.
