American Pig lyrics

[Intro: Richard Pryor]
I know you gonna dig this...

[Refrain]
I put my hands right through the air
And close my eyes and stare
I put my hands right through the air
And close my eyes and stare

[Verse 1: Mark McGrath]
You wanna talk about respect? It's all behind you
There's too many people waiting in the wings
Born and bred this American pig
Put your foot in your mouth, but the hole is too big

[Chorus: Mark McGrath]
You talk more sh*t, well I'll make your eyes burn!
If you don't quit, time for a hard earn!

[Refrain]
I put my hands right through the air
And close my eyes and stare

[Verse 2: Mark McGrath]
You want to talk more about, you know about the little things you talk about
Think you knowin' me pretty well?
Then I know it's time to shout
Only move for money, that's the way it's gonna be
Though it doesn't grow on trees, I love to bask in the breeze
[Chorus: Mark McGrath]
You talk more sh*t, well I'll make your eyes burn!
If you don't quit, time for a hard earn!

[Refrain]
I put my hands right through the air
And close my eyes and stare

[Verse 3: Mark McGrath]
We'll sell you out so fast
We'll tear it down so fast
We get our culture from a mini mall
f*ck inside a bathroom stall
Rob Peter Pan and Paul, I'm just like you, I want it all

[Chorus: Mark McGrath]
You talk more sh*t, well I'll make your eyes burn!
If you don't quit, time for a hard earn!

[Bridge: Mark McGrath & Richard Pryor]
We'll sell you out so fast
We'll tear it down so fast
We'll sell you out so fast
We'll tear it down so fast
I know you gonna dig this...
[Chorus: Mark McGrath]
You talk more sh*t, well I'll make your eyes burn!
If you don't quit, time for a hard earn!

[Outro]
Why talk more sh*t?
You talk more sh*t
Why talk more sh*t?
You talk more sh*t
Born and bred this American pig (Born and bred this American pig)
Born and bred this American pig (Born and bred this American pig)
