Pig Will Not Lyrics

I, I, I will, I will not, I will not, I will not, I, I will not, no I will not, i no, I no, I will not, I will not, I will not, I will not, I will not, I,

How dare you, says the angel,he crashes down
from the hights, shakes the disbeliever
woofwoof
shakes the disbeliever's head, shakes him harder, instructing: You will,
woofwoof
woofwoof
woofwoof
woofwoof
Hear me, and you'll hear the law , all that
rubbish inside your rotting mind
woofwoof
I am your guardian I am your fairy, do my will
woofwoof
woofwoof
eat woofwoof
woofwoof
such love as this, it's true love, this is true love
that we're doing now, even lovelier than it was before;
all broken, your face all mashed up
woofwoof
woofwoof
woofwoof
I will not, I will not, I will not, I will not, I will not, I will not, I will not,
I will not, I will not

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Not repenting for your sins? Not admitting that you have a part to play in the ending of a relationship? Rebelling. Refusing. I will not!

These lyrics don't seem right to me... isn't it "do my will" instead of "get out of my way" and where are the woof woofs?

In the liner notes it says this song was inspired by Charles Baudelaire's The Rebel.

@qwertyfox I came here years after to see what people might think is going on in this (bizarre) performance. Her crazy method acting makes me EXTREMELY horny. Just sayin. That she read and was inspired by Baudelaire makes me even more aroused. Damn is it sexy to watch such free expression on her pretty form? Yes it IS!... (The question was RHETORICAL!) Woof Woof!
