But I know that's not what it means!

The comarisons to Animal Farm (we're talking George Orwell people, careful where you take this convo
) are obvious.
The mere mention of "pigs" is enough to bring the book to mind, even though in the song the pigs are actually the persecuted and not the rulers.
The song still has EXACTLY the same meaning though.
The few control the many, and the many will allow them to do so.
Only the identity of who is ruling is different.
