“Pigs (Three Different Ones)“ is a song from Pink Floyd’s 1977 album Animals. In the album’s three parts, “Dogs,“ “Pigs,“ and “Sheep,“ pigs represent the people whom Roger Waters considers to be at the top of the social ladder, the ones with wealth and power; they also manipulate the rest of society and encourage them to be viciously competitive and cutthroat, so the pigs can remain powerful. Waters suggests that the pigs manipulate the dogs in the lines “Gotta admit, that I’m a little bit confused/Sometimes it seems to me, as if I’m just being used” in the song “Dogs.“ Read on...
