Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me

Once upon a time
There was a nasty, little piggy filled with pride and greed
Once upon a time
There was an evil, little piggy typical disease
You see this little pig is slowly becoming my own worst enemy
You see this evil pig she's a blood, blood, blood sucking part of me

Everywhere I go, you go along with me (She said)
Everything you get, is all because of me (I said)
Everything I do, you do along with me (She said)
No matter where you run, you cannot hide from me

She's got a hold on me
Maybe she is just what they want me to be

Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me

Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
I've been everywhere that you've been
Now I've got nothing to lose and everything to win
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
I'm already under your skin
'Cause I'm the big bad wolf, now let the games begin

You see I am the wolf,
And this dirty, little piggy lives inside of me
You see every now and then,
I forget which one that I want and which one that I need
I have come to realize
That both of them have become a necessity
I now have come to realize
That I become which animal I choose to feed

Anything I say you lie along with me (She said)
Every song you sing is all because of me (I said)
Anytime I cry you always laugh at me (She said)
No matter what you do you will belong to me

She's got a hold on me,
Maybes she's just what they want me to be

Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me

Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
I've been everywhere that you've been
Now I've got nothing to lose and everything to win
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
I'm already under your skin
'Cause I'm the big bad wolf, now let the games begin

Oh man, all these voices
I just can't get the f*ck out of my head
I can't, I can't, I can't

Even with these chains, you can't stop me
Even with these chains, you can't stop me
Even with these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you won't break me
Even in these chains, you won't stop me
Even in these chains, you won't break me
Even in these chains, you won't take me
Even in these chains, you won't haunt me

Pig, pig
Pig, pig

Stay the f*ck, stay the f*ck, stay the f*ck out of my head

She's got a hold on me,
Maybe she is just what they want me to be

Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me

Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
I've been everywhere that you've been
Now I've got nothing to lose and everything to win
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
I'm already under your skin
'Cause I'm the big bad wolf, now let the games begin
'Cause I'm the big bad wolf, now let the games begin
'Cause I'm the big bad wolf, now let the games begin
