I disagree with most of these comments. I think a lot of people just want to attribute the use of the term pigs to cops because they're angsty teens and dislike authority. Sort of the way everyone attributes almost every single song to drugs on here.

If you read the lyrics it seems more to me like the way people in society see something that someone has created that is good, and they enjoy it. That is until they get bored with it from "pushing" and "rushing" it all into the limelight. Sort of the way popular culture will take something new and fun and run it directly into the fucking ground through over exposure. Then the fans, the people who once enjoyed it, start tearing it down, that is, the concept or product or whatever it may be. They make constant demands on the creator that they know he or she can't fulfill for the purpose of calling it shit. They want to discredit it, pick away, fuck it up, etc. Once it is destroyed they can relax and move onto the next new fad, that subsequently inherits the same fate.

Hehe... sounds like the Sonic fanbase especially. I do agree though.

you really landed my thoughts about this song man, some people here are so fucking stupid and they really do believe that some of the lirycs are actually composed for them and thier feelings directly, they cant really come up with something that is not inside their box or written, they just take everything too literally, just a thought, more people should be like you
