In the land of the pigs the butcher is king
(Song by Jim Steinman/Meat Loaf)

Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the animals sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!

I have never heard that statement. But I have heard a similar one which goes: In the land of the blind, the 1 eyed man is king

I've heard it more as "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King"
