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!

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...
