In the Garden of the Long Pig by The Third International
Lyrics
Welcome to my world,
Oh won't you come enjoy the view?
Come and see the natives eat primeval stew
Come and do the dances only you can do
Coming down from New York
It only takes a coupla hours
And then you've got to take a boat
And sail upriver from Manaus
Come and see the last surviving
Real grass house
Living in the garden, of the long pig
We've got birds and we've got trees
But as you see it's mostly black
We've got McDonalds, Disneyland
And superhighways of tarmac
Me? I got a Nissan parked around back
Before you came, before we knew
We had nothing to confess
You gave us guilt and influenza
God and sunday best
Just another long pig, meaner than the rest
Living in the garden, of the long pig

Liner notes
I have travelled extensively around the world. The frightening truth is that the world is shrinking at an ever increasing rate, and that we may not be prepared for the social upheaval that this shrinkage will bring. This is a tongue in cheek look at it.
