3144

Cute, small, young pig 3144 with black snout, frowning and scared, pressing against a fire alarm on a factory farm wall

When pig 3144 learned he was on a 'factory farm'

He banged his black snout against the fire alarm

As bells rang, he thought how can this be?

Is that why I haven't seen my friends lately?

What can we do? What are our choices?

How to fight back when we don't have voices?

With movies like 'Babe', we showed we are sweet

But cute's not enough, they still want our meat

Research has shown, we're smarter than dogs

But smart's not enough, they still see us as hogs

Yet not tasty enough, they still prefer pig

'Enough of our oinking' Pig 3144 took a stand.

Its time we came up with our own escape plan

Have y'all heard of the Middle East?

Their religions believe we're too dirty to eat…

Happy to be dirty, if it keeps us alive.

But how do we get there. How far is the drive?

So the pigs found a map, what's that blue part?

The important thing is that we get a quick start…
