Wart, Wart Hog
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
Doomsday visions of junkies and fags
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it
It's a sick world, what can I say?
No such thing as an even break
It's stealing and cheating, take, take, take
Wart, Wart Hog
Wart, Wart Hog
Wart, Wart Hog
Just took some dope and I feel ill
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
It's a hopeless life, I hate it, hate it
It's an outlaw life, we're a renegade band
Doomsday visions of commies and queers
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it

their first manager was gay, and i think dee dee was bi, so they weren't prejudice. anyway, awesome song.

I think this song reflects the way Dee Dee felt back in the 70s, when he was depressed and heavily screwed up on drugs. I don't think it was intended to be homophobic, but just paranoid.

he use to be a male prostitute. hence the song 53rd & 3rd.

I believe you messed up some lyrics

he wrote this song after he got out rehab...i think its like the pressures of staying away from drug use...
RIP

Dee Dee Ramone was a beautiful person! LoL Sure he had his issues and making music is a positive form of release and therapy! This song is so awesome and catchy. Plus, like a lot of their tunes, it is also tongue in cheek. You gotta have some humor when your life is kind of insane.
The Ramones were like America, they had members, and fans, who were “right wing” and ones who were “left wing” and ones somewhere in-between. Their material was all over the place as far as ideologies. It’s all great stuff so who gives a crap? Loosen up!
PS I would recommend the books “On the Road With the Ramones” and “Please Kill Me” for anyone who wants to learn more about the amazing Ramones

this is a great song but when i listen to it it doesnt sound like they are saying wart hog

That's the same with many Ramones songs. When I heard "All the girls are in love with me" in Teenage Lobotomy, I had no idea what it meant. But this is a really cool song, even if you can't understand it.

this song is so depressing. especially when dee dee died.

Are the Ramones prejudiced against gays?
