China Pig Lyrics

I don't wanna' kill,
my china pig,
I don't wanna' kill,
my china pig.

Man's gotta live,
man's gotta eat,
man's gotta have shoes for walkin'
on his feet[?].

I don't wanna kill,
my china pig.

Used to go to school,
with my little red box
Used to have a dog with me,
we'd walk for blocks.

I don't wanna kill,
my china pig,
don't wanna kill,
my china pig.

5 years too late, I must say the little boy on 'Lets Build A Home' was actually a recording of Jack when he was little, with his mum and older brother. It was supposed to be 'I wish I had a little red box to put the devil in/I'd put him in and smash smash smash/ and never let him out again'

But yes this is a Beefheart cover. Don't really understand what it's about but it's good anyway
