"We Are the Pigs" is the first single off the album "Dog Man Star" by Suede, released on September 12, 1994 on Nude Records. The single announced the darker tone that the band had taken for "Dog Man Star", that contrasted heavily with their debut. The challenging sound on the single was not characteristic of the popular Britpop bands of the time. That along with the departure of guitarist Bernard Butler during its release, contributed to its relatively poor charting.

The video, directed by David and Raphael Vital-Durand, features a grim, "1984"-like setting. It was initially banned by some TV stations including MTV for being too violent. The video features car burnings, cross burnings, and various violence to humans. Also notable, the video features the video debut of new guitarist Richard Oakes.

The b-side "Killing of a Flashboy" also became a staple of Suede's live set list and became one of their most popular songs. It is also available on the B-sides album "Sci-Fi Lullabies".
