Animal Farm

by Less Than Expected

/

about

Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945.

This song is inspired by the current state of things in the United States where we as human beings are fighting against our own societies capitalistic cannibalism in hopes of creating an equal, free, and happy nation. Ultimately, however, we are at odds with billionaire elitists and their cult like followers who scream in the face of progress, and thus we end up in a state worse than it ever was before, under a wannabe fascist pig named Donald Trump.

lyrics

Nation of Sheep
Ruled by Wolves
Owned by pigs
Raised like cattle

[Verse 1]
Locked in our pens,
while they sleep in beds
Hypocritical sadists
Decrees are broken
Just like their promises
Calling the Knackers to take us

[Pre-Chorus]
Before, too long…
we’ll be out to pasture

[Chorus]
Before inspiration comes the falter
After hesitation comes the slaughter
Before inspiration comes the falter
After hesitation comes the slaughter
Nation of Sheep
Ruled by Wolves
Owned by pigs
Raised like cattle

[Verse 2]
And they said all animals are equal
yet they’re Hoarding our allowances
Telling us we’re happier, (living simple lives)
Keep us working, while they live inside
These windmills won’t build themselves
Wearing the clothes they said to never wear
4 legs are good, but 2 legs are better
They don’t want us working together

[Pre-Chorus]
Before, too long…
we’ll be out to pasture

[Chorus 2]
Before inspiration comes the falter
After hesitation comes the slaughter
Before inspiration comes the falter
After hesitation comes the slaughter
Nation of Sheep
Ruled by Wolves
Owned by pigs
Raised like cattle

[Outro]
They sit inside, drinking whiskey with the farmers
some animals are more equal than others.
Whether pigs or men, can’t really tell them apart
We’re just another statistic
just another statistic
just another statistic
in their. animal. farm.

Less Than Expected Ashtabula, Ohio

Hailing from the frozen tundras of North Eastern Ohio, Less Than Expected burst onto the scene with their unorthodox mixture of noisy feedback-driven hard rock. Mixing Grunge/Punk infused power chords with melodic overtones and sardonic but veraciously introspective lyrics. Less Than Expected were quickly labeled “Sludge Punk” by the locals and have devotedly embraced the title. ... more
