Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
I take some dope I feel so sick
It's a sick world sick, sick, sick
Doomsday visions of junkies and fags
Arificial phonies, I hate it, hate it
Death, death, death is the price I pay
It's a sick world, what can I say
No such thing as an even break
It's stealing and cheating, take, take take
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
I wanna puke I can't sit still
Just took some dope 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, man
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 Hog
Wart Hog stands as a quintessential example of the Ramones' signature punk rock sound, characterized by rapid-fire drumming, power chords, and a relentless tempo. Written by Joey Ramone, the track captures the band's ability to transform simple, catchy melodies into enduring anthems. The song's title and theme reflect the group's penchant for playful, slightly absurd subject matter delivered with deadpan intensity. As a staple of their live performances, it showcases the tight interplay between the band members that defined their early career. Included on various compilations, Wart Hog remains a testament to the Ramones' influence on the punk genre and their lasting impact on rock music history.
