Sympathy for a Pig

Clean feet Clean sheets Time will start again Will they know my name? Strangers staring... Because I'm new Or because of who I was? Simple things make a simple life, As long as I'm hiding Why not start a life? Farmer me, simple me, Doing all the simple things. Plant the seeds, Reap the grain, Bale the hay, Drink away All the tirings of the day One more day, one more thing A simple thing. Slaughter the pig. Are they watching? Can I, can simple me Do this simple thing? The blood is not the same blood. The man is not the same man. It's not a man! It's just a pig. It's only a pig. It's only a pig, Only a pig! Not a man, Just a pig! Just a pig But I can't! Just a pig! They're staring at me...
