Is This The Life We Really Want? - Roger Waters

Is This The Life We Really Want

Roger Waters


Lyrics:
[Donald Trump:]
"As a example you're CNN. I mean it's story, after story, after story is bad. I won. I won. And the other thing, chaos. There's zero chaos. We are running - this is a fine-tuned machine..."

The goose has gotten fat
On caviar and fancy bars
And subprime loans
And broken homes
Is this the life, the holy grail?
It's not enough that we succeed
We still need others to fail

Fear, fear drives the mills of modern man
Fear keeps us all in line
Fear of all those foreigners
Fear of all their crimes
Is this the life we really want?
It surely must be so
For this is a democracy and what we all say goes

And every time a student is run over by a tank
And every time a pirate's dog is forced to walk the plank
Every time a Russian bride is advertised for sale
And every time a journalist is left to rot in jail
Every time a young girl's life is casually spent
And every time a nincompoop becomes the president
Every time somebody dies reaching for their keys
And every time that Greenland falls in the fucking sea it's because

All of us, the blacks and whites
Chicanos, Asians - every type of ethnic group
Even folks from Guadaloupe, the old, the young
Toothless hags, supermodels, actors, fags, bleeding hearts
Football stars, men in bars, washer women, tailors, tarts
Grannies, grandpas, uncles, aunts
Friends, relations, homeless tramps
Clerics, truckers, cleaning ladies, ants
Maybe not ants
Why not ants?
Well, because it's true
The ants don't have enough IQ to differentiate between
The pain that other people feel
And well, for instance, cutting leaves
Or crawling across window sills
In search of open treacle tins
So like the ants, are we just dumb?
Is that why we don't feel or see
Or are we all just numbed out on reality TV?

So every time
The curtain falls
Every time the curtain falls on some forgotten life
It is because we all stood by silent and indifferent
It's normal!

Letra:
[Donald Trump:]
"Como ejemplo, eres la CNN. Quiero decir que eres historia, después de historia, después de que la historia es mala. Gané. Gané. Y la otra cosa, el caos. Hay cero caos. Estamos corriendo, esta es una máquina afinada ... "

El ganso ha engordado
En caviar y barras elegantes
Y préstamos de alto riesgo
Y casas rotas
¿Es esta la vida, el santo grial?
No es suficiente que tengamos éxito
Todavía necesitamos que otros fallen

El miedo, el miedo impulsa los molinos del hombre moderno.
El miedo nos mantiene a todos en línea
Miedo a todos esos extranjeros.
Miedo a todos sus crímenes.
¿Es esta la vida que realmente queremos?
Seguramente debe ser así
Para esto es una democracia y lo que todos decimos va a misa

Y cada vez que un tanque atropella a un estudiante
Y cada vez que el perro de un pirata se ve obligado a caminar por la tabla
Cada vez que se anuncia a la venta una novia rusa
Y cada vez que un periodista se pudre en la cárcel
Cada vez que la vida de una joven se gasta casualmente
Y cada vez que un gilipollas se convierte en presidente
Cada vez que alguien muere buscando sus llaves
Y cada vez que Groenlandia cae en el maldito mar es porque

Todos nosotros, los negros y los blancos.
Chicanos, asiáticos: todo tipo de grupo étnico
Incluso la gente de Guadalupe, los viejos, los jóvenes.
Brujas sin dientes, supermodelos, actores, maricones, corazones sangrantes
Estrellas de fútbol, ​​hombres en bares, lavanderas, sastres, tartas
Abuelas, abuelos, tíos, tías
Amigos, parientes, vagabundos sin hogar
Clérigos, camioneros, señoras de la limpieza, hormigas
Quizás no hormigas
¿Por qué no las hormigas?
Pues porque es verdad
Las hormigas no tienen suficiente coeficiente intelectual para diferenciar entre
El dolor que sienten otras personas
Y bueno, por ejemplo, cortar hojas
O arrastrándose por los alféizares de las ventanas
En busca de latas de melaza abiertas
Entonces, como las hormigas, ¿somos tontos?
Es por eso que no sentimos ni vemos
¿O estamos todos entumecidos en la televisión de realidad?

Entonces cada vez que
Cae el telón
Cada vez que cae el telón de una vida olvidada
Es porque todos nos quedamos en silencio e indiferentes
¡Es normal!

Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow

Since You've Been Gone Rainbow Lyrics:   I get the same old dreams same time everynight Fall to the ground and I wake up So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head Thoughts fly back to the breakup These four wall are closing in Look at the fix you put me in Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone If you will come back ...

Still of The Night - Whitesnake

Still Of The Night Whitesnake Lyrics: In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise Telling me what's in store My heart start aching My body start a shaking And I can't take no more Now I just wanna get close to you An' taste your love so sweet And I just wanna make love to you Feel your body heat In the still of the night In the still of the night Over here baby In the heat of the day , I hang my head down low And hide my face from the sun Through the light of the day Until the evening time I'm waiting for the night to come In the still of the night In the cool moonlight I feel heart is aching In the still of the night Tell me here baby! In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door ...

Invaders - Iron Maiden

Invaders Iron Maiden Lyrics: Longboats have been sighted the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgement day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground They're coming in from the sea they've come the enemy beneath the blazing sun the battle has to be won Invaders ... Pillaging Invaders ... Looting Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone They're coming over the hill they've come to attack they're coming in for the kill there's no turning back Invaders ... Fighting Invaders ... Marauding Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground Severed li...
