"When Pigs Cry" - in the Spirit of Protest

The first of two songs from Prince that I've parodied. The other, "Darlin' Emma," is an X-Men parody which, well ...

When Pigs Cry

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The dye from the pepper spray covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?

Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violence in bloom
Coppers strike curious poses
They are the Fuzz
That stands between me and you

How can you just leave me bleeding?
Alone in a cell that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm not like my father - too bold
Maybe you're worse than my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When pigs cry

Punch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the troublemakers tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even pigs have pride

How can you just leave me bleeding?
Alone in a cell that's so cold? (Cells so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm not like my father - too bold
Maybe you're worse than my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When pigs cry

How can you just leave me bleeding?
Alone in a cell that's so cold? (A cell that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, demanding my rights)
Maybe I'm not like my father - too bold (Ya know I'm too bold)
Maybe you're worse than my mother (Maybe you're some motherfucker)
She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream? Why?)
This is what it sounds like

When pigs cry
When pigs cry (Pigs cry, pigs cry)
When pigs cry (Pigs cry, pigs cry)
Don't Cry (Don't Cry)

When pigs cry
When pigs cry
When pigs cry

When Pigs cry (Pigs cry, pigs cry, pigs cry)
Don't cry
Darling don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
