18. Pigs (Three Different Ones) Roger Waters

Love all the Trump imagery he used. Although this song(s) was originally meant as a critique on the British right wing politicians, and the wealthy capitalist "pigs" of the UK and the White House in the song isn't the same one in Washington, the message still resonates for any country that is ruled by corrupted moneyed oligarchs, and Waters uses the image of the US White House as the backdrop here.

I can't help but feel a little sad though watching this. This was not long after the election. The resistance was strong, but back then we had even more energy, more determination it seems. Performances like this, although inspiring at the time, when we thought Trump wouldn't last 6 months, is now a distant fantasy. He will now most likely fill all of his first term, and may very well steal the next one. As he slowly but surely replaces all top law and legal positions with corrupt true believers, all the while normalizing corruption.


part of the lyrics:

Big man, pig man
Ha ha charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha ha charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You’re nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying “Keep on digging”
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?

You’re nearly a laugh
You’re nearly a laugh
But you’re really a cry
