Discover the story of the song > War Pigs – Cake

The song talks about leaders who plan wars and cause destruction, while innocent people suffer and die. The politicians who start wars don't fight in them but leave it to those who are less fortunate. The song warns that one day the war-mongers will face judgment and the power will shift to those who deserve it. In the end, even the War Pigs, or the powerful and wicked leaders, will beg for mercy and face the consequences of their actions.
