Red Man
Pig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You really whine
You really crawl
You really weep
And feel a bit small
You really whine
You really do crawl
You really weep
And you're gonna feel small

God, guns, guts
The staple diet of religious nuts
I'm a pig with a baton
Politician with a mission




You're gonna weep
And you're gonna feel small

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to PIG's song Red Man are a commentary on the state of American politics and the religious right. The opening lines criticize those who complain and behave submissively, implying that they lack the strength and courage to stand up for themselves. The following lines delve into the topic of religious zealotry and its close association with gun culture in the United States. The line "God, guns, guts, the staple diet of religious nuts" speaks to the belief of some that being patriotic and religious requires owning firearms and a willingness to use them.


The chorus is sung from the perspective of a powerful figure, represented by a "pig with a baton" and a "politician with a mission." Here, the lyrics speak directly to those who might challenge the current status quo, promising that they will be made to feel small and powerless. Overall, the song paints a bleak picture of American politics, one that is characterized by manipulation, fearmongering, and aggression.
