about

Inspired by George Orwell's ANIMAL FARM.

lyrics

"You do not imagine we pigs
are doing this in selfishness and privilege.
It’s for you day and night we grapple.
It’s for you we drink that milk and eat those apples.
I detest them myself.
Our sole object is preserving our health.
If we fail in our duty and fall flat,
do you know what would happen? Yes, Jones would come back."

You do not want Jones to Come Back.

Are all the revolutions doomed?
The power returning to the few.
Boxer is as good as glue
when you let them lie to you.

Dream of a utopia
trying to hold on to the hope that you
can make the world you want if you avoid the traps.
Can the answer be as simple as that?

You do not want want Jones to come back.
Some animals are more equal than others.

They’ll distract with songs and ceremony,
spinning truth and changing history.
Pigs squeal fear and distraction.
Readjustments not reductions.

Don’t listen to the pig squeal
telling you the hunger in your belly isn’t real.
Fear and distraction from what you know is true.
He’ll squeal a reality of lies to you.
Who will you listen to.

Chorus
You do not want want Jones to come back.
Some animals are more equal than others.
Four legs good two legs bad...
