Head to my profile for the full album

This is the sixth track from Meat Loaf's album 'Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose'

Look at them now

What do they want?

And what do they do?

Now, nothing at all!

What do they know?

What do they think?

And who do they tell?

Well, no one at all!

Their lives are truely meaningless

And we are busy being blessed

With all that we can take and pocket

No one needs to know

We're the plug and they're the socket

Give us the juice and we'll drown

Can't you hear the choir now?

Listen to the animals sing!

Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!

How do they sleep?

Their lives are so tawdry

We're the trash collectors

'Cause they're nothing but trash

What do you expect?

They've got no standards

So we lower the bar

'Cause they're perfect for us

And we'll open up Pandora's Box

Pandora gave us keys and locks

They're victims waiting for their mugger

Come to the confessional

So I can tell you all to bugger off

There's no time like now!

Can't you hear the choir now?

Listen to the animals sing!

Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!

Can't you hear the choir now?

Listen to the market-place sing!

Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king...

And we'll do it our way

It's our time to play

We know what to say

They stand in our way

Don't stand in our way

No time like today...

Can't you hear the choir now?

Listen to the anthems we sing!

Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!

Can't you hear the choir now?

Listen to the animals sing!

Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!

Can't you hear the choir now?

Listen to the chosen one sing!

Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!

In the land of the pigs the butcher is king...

Well, this one was good, but I still prefer the original.

If given a distressed and sad yet still passionate tone, this song could work incredibly well as a song performed by anyone that's given up on humanity.

The first minute and a half is excellent. Seems to fall off a cliff after that, unfortunately.

Frankly, I've been amazed that no-one's, at the very least, done a PMV for Luna/Seize The Night. I'd do something, but I can't animate, so pleh xD Seize The Night fits so well with Luna's backstory.

Meh. You can keep that one. I've barely even played Warhammer40k.

Even better: A Warhammer 40k video using this song and the Chaos Go- oh wait, that's already done. Haha, we beat your ponies at using this song for a tribute video.

Maybe Monstro for King Sombra.

*Shrug* Maybe. If you were to play it darker, any of the big antagonists could fit the role well.

Someone should do a MLP video using this song and Discord.

The title of this song (and the chorus) is so true. Those with the power to destroy mankind are the ones who rule us.

@foolhou2e Search "Batman the musical demos" on mediafire. You'll get all the demos for it in a zip (at least the ones Steinman decided to drop on us.)
