Looking at the little piggies strutting in a row
Living in the shadows for a brother just to grow
Lying like a devil, they stand waiting in a fire
Stuck inside a prison, wall of concrete and barbed wire
I never really ever thought I'd make it out alive
They tried to keep me in a trick, so I would not survive
The devil has a sneaky way of keeping a brother down
But now that I'm laughing in his face, I'm writing this song out
Somebody's watching
Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching me, too
Somebody's watching

Yeah
See there's really nothing, but a punk that's dressed in drag
(And you know that's right)
But they act just like a bunch of bitches who are on the rag
(Yeah)
If anyone who's been there, can relate to what I say
But now that I'm free, you see, I'm having it my way
(That's right)
So look at all the little piggies standing in a row
Waiting in the shadows for a brother just to glow
Lying like a devil, they stand waiting in a fire
But stuck inside a prison, wall of concrete and barbed wire
