Skitsystem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Discriminating the human race
Pigs of oppression
We'll have our revenge
Ain't worth shit - Human trash
Perverted dreams of an übermensch
Pigs of oppression
We'll have our revenge
Third reich dead and buried
Tries to rise from the ashes
Send them all to hell
Fuckin' nazi bastards
The song "Pigs" by Skitsystem is a raw, angry and confrontational track which speaks out against the oppression suffered by certain sections of society at the hands of others. The lyrics are a clear and direct expression of the band's disdain for those who discriminate against others based on race or other such factors. The use of the word 'pigs' to describe such people is a powerful metaphor which emphasizes the negative and oppressive nature of their actions.
The opening lines, "Infiltrators of filthy lies, Discriminating the human race" speak to the way in which some people are willing to manipulate the truth in order to further their own agenda, and how this often leads to discrimination against others. This is followed by the repeated refrain, "Pigs of oppression, We'll have our revenge", which makes it clear that the band is calling for an end to such behavior and the restoration of equality.
The final verse of the song makes reference to the Nazi regime and the desire of some to see it resurrected. The line, "Third reich dead and buried, Tries to rise from the ashes" is a direct criticism of those who hold fascist views and a call for them to be held accountable for their actions. The song culminates with the powerful statement, "Send them all to hell, Fuckin' nazi bastards", which leaves no doubt as to the band's feelings on the matter.
