China Pig
Harmony and Hunger: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'China Pig'
Lyrics
I don't want to kill
I don't desire to cause harm or destroy
My China pig
My beloved and precious possession (metaphorically represented as a 'China pig')
I don't want to kill
I have no intention to harm or ruin
My China pig
Reiteration of not wanting to harm or destroy the cherished possession
Man's gotta live
A person must survive
Man's gotta eat
A person must find sustenance
Gotta have shoes for walkin'
A person needs proper footwear for mobility
On his feet
Essential requirement for comfortable walking
I don't want to kill
Restating the aversion to causing harm to the cherished possession
My China pig
Reiteration of not wanting to harm the treasured possession
Used to go to school
In the past, attended school
With a little red box
Had a small red container or case
I used to have a dog with me
Once had a canine companion
We'd walk for blocks
Would stroll together for multiple blocks
I don't want to kill
Emphasizing the unwillingness to harm the cherished possession
My China pig
Reiteration of not wanting to harm the treasured possession
I don't want to kill
Further emphasis on the aversion to causing harm to the cherished possession
My China pig
Final restatement of not wanting to harm the treasured possession
