Wikipedia article
"'Swastika Eyes'" (stylised as "'SWSTK YS'" and also known as "'War Pigs'") is a song by Scottish rock band Primal Scream, released on 8 November 1999 as the lead single from their sixth studio album 'XTRMNTR' (2000). The attention-grabbing title is an example of the band's confrontational style in this period, although they have stated that the song is an attack on corporations and governments. The song peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart.
The "Swastika Eyes" single has two mixes of the song by the Chemical Brothers and Jagz Kooner respectively. Both mixes were included on the album 'XTRMNTR'. The Spectre Mix by Kooner was listed as Jagz Kooner mix on the album.
