Wrath
KMFDM/Pig Champion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's the magic masochist
Who's the piggish postulator
Who's the anal agitator
Who's the heinous plagiarist
Who's the sexy satanist
Who's the manic masturbator
Who's the cryptic constipator
Who the hell are you
Do you love me
I'm the salt in your wound
I'm the fist in your face
I'm the thorn in your side
The devil in disguise
