The Pigger One

Am    F  Am      The Alpha pig was big and mean.

Am    E  Am      The others let him rule the scene.

Am    F  Am      He pushed his way from here to there,

Am    E  Am      givin’ the other pigs a scare,

F   Am  E  Am   until one day, as he slept, he woke to a shock.

F   Am  E  Am   Coming down towards his head was a deadly rock.

 

Am    F  Am      The arms race began that day.

Am    E  Am      The bigger the rock, the stronger the say.

Am    F  Am      The rock was outdone by a spear then a sword.

Am    E  Am      Now they’re sellin’ guns in that discount store.

F   Am  E  Am   There’s a whole lotta weapons out on the street.

F   Am  E  Am   Even Grandma was seen packin’ heat.

 

Chorus:

Dm  A  Bb    A   Starin’ down the barrel of a gun.

Dm  A  Bb    A   Thank God, she’s got the pigger one.

Dm  A  Bb    A   Starin’ down the barrel of a gun.

C     E     Am    Thank God, she’s got the pigger one.

 

Am    F  Am      “The Military Industrial Complex,”

Am    E  Am      said the shrink to his patient, “You need more meds.

Am    F  Am      “Take a couple of rockets on your morning jog.

Am    E  Am      “They’ll never see them coming through the fog.”

F   Am  E  Am    We’ll never stop the violence when money is made selling ammunition and fighter planes

F   Am  E  Am    It’d be better spent on other things, like schools for our children.

 

Am    F  Am      It’s hard to trust another when you know too much.

Am    E  Am      Some folks will hurt you if you don’t act tough.

Am    F  Am      Kill or be killed is the natural way.

Am    E  Am      The predator always tries to eat the prey.

F   Am  E  Am   So you better be aware where ever you go, and remember you reap what you sow.

F   Am  E  Am   If you pull out your pistol, you never know, you just may be

 

Chorus:

 

Dm  A  Bb    A   Starin’ down the barrel of a gun.

Dm  A  Bb    A   Thank God, I’ve got the pigger one.

Dm  A  Bb    A   Starin’ down the barrel of a gun.

C     E     Am    Thank God, I’ve got the pigger one.
