Hush up, don't speak don't wanna hear another
Not another word
You're just an ani-mal, tryin' to act real special
But deep down you are just a shrew
Maybe I should have a little more just to stay out of my mind
'Cuz it's when I'm not thinking with you
That I act like a swine, act like a swine, act like a swine
I know I know I know I know you want me
You're just a pig inside a human body
Squealer, squealer, squeal out you're so disgusting
You're just a pig inside
Do ya I know I know I know you want me
You're just a pig inside a human body
Squealer, squealer, squeal out you're so disgusting
You're just a pig inside
Swine
Be that hog sweat it out you squealer
Let your body jiggle
Slap her skinny, love to watch her ass go wiggle
It's the feel of ecstasy
Maybe I should have a little more just to stay out of my mind
'Cuz it's when I'm not thinking with you
That I act like a swine, act like a swine, act like a swine
I know I know I know I know you want me
You're just a pig inside a human body
Squealer, squealer, squeal out you're so disgusting
You're just a pig inside
Do ya I know I know I know you want me
You're just a pig inside a human body
Squealer, squealer, squeal out you're so disgusting
You're just a pig inside
Swine
Paint your face in
Paint his face in (Catch the beat)
Paint your face in
Paint her face in (Catch the beat)
Paint your face in
Be a swine just (Catch the beat)
For the weekend
Catch the beat

Honestly, this song seems to be about an uncomfortable sexual experience – most likely rape. Given Gaga’s speech at the iTunes Festival AND her interview on the Ellen Show a few days after, that seems to be the most likely subject being addressed in the lyrics.
(It’s interesting to note that the song “Monster” from The Fame Monster also seems to be about rape, and The Prelude Pathetique segment at the beginning of the Marry The Night music video is often thought by fans to be about rape, unwanted pregnancy, and an abortion).
"Heard you, don’t speak, don’t wanna hear another" Probably “I know you want it” talk.
"I know, I know, I know I know you want me You’re just a pig inside a human body Squealer, squealer, you’re so disgusting" Gaga is remembering the disgusting man who violated her and compares him to a pig.
"Baby, I should have a little more just to stay out of my mind" She has to drink to forget about it.
"Slap it, skinny. Would love to watch your ass go wiggle" (these are the actual lyrics) She wants revenge on her rapist.
If you have any doubt of the validity of this interpretation, look up on YouTube the short speech she did before performing this song at the iTunes Festival, and also her interview on Ellen at the end of 2013 (it's the interview where she's wearing a pink dress).
Based on what Lady Gaga said at the iTunes Festival, that this song required her to go back to a painful time in her life, I think she's referring to her time involved with drugs and how during this time she would "have a little more..." to win the approval of her then-detrimental friend group "'cause it's when I'm not thinkin' with you that I act like a swine".
I can't help but think of the game Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs every time I hear this song. "You're just a pig inside a human body." Couldn't be the source of the song of course but wow is it a fun coincidence.
Me too, actually! For me, its because the beat reminds me of a machine, but also a pig.

This song is about rape, and was inspired by Lady Gaga's rape when she was 19, as revealed by her on the Howard Stern Show.
