«War Pigs» de Black Sabbath es una canción de rock clásica de 1970 que critica el uso de la guerra como una herramienta de control político. La letra se centra en los líderes políticos que dirigen las guerras, los «cerdos de guerra», y el daño que causan a la humanidad. La canción también contiene referencias a la Biblia y al Apocalipsis. Esta canción se ha convertido en un himno de protesta contra la guerra y se ha interpretado en conciertos por décadas.
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death’s construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh, Lord, yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that all to the poor, yeah!
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah!
Now, in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah!
