Wart Hog Lyrics
[Chorus]
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
[Verse 1]
I take some dope, I feel so sick
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
Drugs and bitches and junkies and fags
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it
Death, death, death it's the price I'll pay
It's a sick world, what can I say?
No such thing as an even break
It's steal and cheat, take, take, take, take
[Chorus]
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
[Verse 2]
I wanna puke, I can't sit still
Just took some drugs and I feel ill
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
It's a hopeless life, I hate it, hate it
It's a joke, it's a lie, it's a rip-off bet
It's an outlaw life, we're a renegade band
Doomsday visions of commies and queers
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
[Verse 1]
I take some dope, I feel so sick
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
Drugs and bitches and junkies and fags
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it
Death, death, death it's the price I'll pay
It's a sick world, what can I say?
No such thing as an even break
It's steal and cheat, take, take, take, take
[Chorus]
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
[Verse 2]
I wanna puke, I can't sit still
Just took some drugs and I feel ill
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
It's a hopeless life, I hate it, hate it
It's a joke, it's a lie, it's a rip-off bet
It's an outlaw life, we're a renegade band
Doomsday visions of commies and queers
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it
[Chorus]
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
About

“Wart Hog” by Dee Dee (with co-writing credit to Johnny) was written in response to Dee Dee’s therapist telling Dee Dee he should write a love song get him in touch with his feelings.
In Lobotomy, Dee Dee’s autobiography, he left thinking “‘You want a fing love song? I’ll give you a fing love song’!
The next day Dee Dee gave him the lyrics to ‘Wart Hog’ and THAT is 100% Dee Dee Ramone!
