- Piggies LyricsHave you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.
In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.
Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.
Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

When we think about the meaning behind each verse, the Beatles' song 'Piggies' is a metaphorical critique of the rich elite ('bigger piggies') by portraying them as the ones who suffer others for their own good and at the same time showing no concern for the suffering around them. The words picture a community where the rich class ('piggies') lives in lavishness, and they do not even notice the pain of the poor, which is represented by the 'little piggies' who are in the mud. The Piggies lyrics broadest social commentary, angst, meditation, despair, and anger. To a certain extent, the song makes a strong but, perhaps, still limited, point about social inequality, apathy, and ignorance and consumerism critique. The lyrics do contain some adult themes and language that may not be appropriate for very young children, particularly violence references ('a damn good whacking') and societal roles depiction, but still, they do not quite reach the level of intensity and explicitness necessary for a higher rating.
