Gwar, often styled as GWAR, is an American heavy metal band formed in Richmond, Virginia, United States, in 1984, composed of and operated by a frequently rotating line-up of musicians, artists and filmmakers collectively known as Slave Pit Inc.
Easily identified by their distinctively grotesque costumes, Gwar's core thematic and visual concept revolves around an elaborate science fiction-themed mythology which portrays the band members as barbaric interplanetary warriors, a narrative which serves as the basis for all of the band's albums, videos, live shows and other media. Rife with over-the-top violent, sexual, and scatological humour typically incorporating social and political satire, Gwar have attracted both acclaim and controversy for their music and stage shows, the latter of which notoriously showcase enactments of graphic violence that result in the audience being sprayed with copious amounts of fake blood. Such stagecraft regularly leads Gwar to be labeled a "shock rock" band by the media.
You are a woman
I am a man
You are my meat
Get in the pan
You are my meat
So die like the rest
As I consume your flesh
It's all for the best
You are my meat
You are my fat
Don't try to fool me
By skinning a cat
Don't ever forget
You are my meat
Or I'll knock you sideways
Well into next week
Our lives together
Mean nothing to me
Draping my molars
Is where you should be
My gullet, my stomach
These lands you shall pass
Then you become shit
And explode out my ass
You are my meat
You are my meat
You are my meat
