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 casu...

Picture That Roger Waters Lyrics: Picture yourself as you lean on the port rail Tossing away your last cigarette Picture your finger pushing the doorbell Picture the skull and crossbones on the doormat Picture yourself on the streets of Laredo Picture the casbah, picture Japan Picture your kid with his hand on the trigger Picture prosthetics in Afghanistan Picture a courthouse with no fucking laws Picture a cathouse with no fucking whores Picture a shithouse with no fucking drains Picture a leader with no fucking brains Follow me filming myself at the show On a phone from a seat in the very front row Follow Miss Universe catching some rays Wish You Were Here in Guantanamo Bay Picture a seat on a private plane Picture your feet nailed to the floor Picture a crew who are clearly insane Picture no windows, picture no doors Glued to a screen in the state of Nevada To follow the dream gets harder and harder Picture her wrapp...

Wait For Her Roger Waters Lyrics: With a glass inlaid with gemstones On a pool around the evening Among the perfumed roses Wait for her With the patience of a packhorse Loaded for the mountains Like a stoic, noble prince Wait for her With seven pillows laid out on the stair The scent of womens' incense fills the air Be calm, and wait for her And do not flush the sparrows that are nesting in her braids All along the barricades Wait for her And if she comes soon Wait for her And if she comes late Wait Let her be still As a summer afternoon A garden in full bloom Let her breathe in the air That is foreign to her heart Let her lips part Wait for her Take her to the balcony See the moon soaked in milk Hear the rustle of her silk Wait for her Don't let your eyes alight upon The twin doves of her breast Lest they take flight Wait for her And if she comes soon Wait for her And if sh...

The Most Beautiful Girl Roger Waters Lyrics: She may well have been The most beautiful girl in the world Her life snuffed out Like a bulldozer crushing a pearl The secret committee Deep in its lair Conveniently far From the cold desert air Puts a tick in a box, Turns the key in a lock To loosen the bonds in her hair Sleep if you can Wrapped safe in your cloak The tumbledown twilight Havana smoke Caught in your throat Mistress Liberty's dance Held you in its trance Her bosoms were loaded with nectar and lances "Well, boys", she said "You have broken the trust. Hold onto that stick if you must." Take a fresh grip On the crucible rune The patchwork of ashes Sweeps away love like a broom Madness comes down Like the crackpot of ages The raging of angels Cathedral of stars Christopher Robin says "Alice, go home now. They're no longer changing the guard." "Hold on...

Bird In A Gale Roger Waters Lyrics: Are you blowing like a bird in a gale? Does the pain of your loss seep into your feathers like rain? Do the bars of your cage feel low or cold to the touch? Were my caresses too gentle? Did I love you too much? The dog is scratching at the door The boy is drowning in the sea Can I crash out on your floor? The loon is howling at the sea Can I crash out on your floor? Is there room in the story for me? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Letra: ¿Estás flotando como un pájaro en un vendaval? ¿El dolor de tu pérdida se filtra en tus plumas como la lluvia? ¿Las barras de su jaula se sienten bajas o frías al tacto? ¿Fueron mis caricias demasiado suaves? ¿Te quise demasiado? El perro rasca la puerta El niño se ahoga en el mar. ¿Puedo estrellarme en tu piso? El bribón está aullando al mar ¿Puedo estrellarme en tu piso? ¿Hay espacio en la historia pa...

Broken Bones Roger Waters Lyrics: Sometimes I stare at the night sky See them stars a billion light years away And it makes me feel small like a bug on a wall Who gives a shit anyway? Who gives a shit anyway? When World War II was over Though the slate was never wiped clean We could have picked over them broken bones We could have been free But we chose to adhere to abundance We chose the American Dream And ooo, Mistress Liberty - How we abandoned thee How We abandoned thee And oh, Mistress Liberty How we abandoned thee Could've been born in Shreveport Or he could've born in Tehran It don't much matter wherever you're born Little babies mean us no harm They have to be taught to despise us To bulldoze our homes to the ground To belief their fight is for liberty To believe their god will keep them safe and sound Safe and sound Safe and sound We cannot turn back the clock Cannot go back in time ...

Part Of Me Died Roger Waters Lyrics: The part that is envious Cold hearted and devious Greedy, mischievous Global, colonial Bloodthirsty, blind Mindless and cheap Focused on borders And slaughter and sheep Burning of books Bulldozing of homes Giving to targeted killing with drones Lethal injections Arrest without trial Monocular vision Gangrene and slime Unction, sarcasm Common assault Self-satisfied heroic killers Lifted on high Piracy adverts Acid attacks On women by bullies And perverts and hacks The rigging of ballots And the buying of power Lies from the pulpit Rape in the shower Mute, indifferent Feeling no shame Portly, important Leering, deranged Sat in the corner Watching TV Deaf to the cries of Children in pain Dead to the world Just watching the game Watching endless repeats - Out of sight, out of mind Silence, indifference: The ultimate crime But when I met you That part...

Oceans Apart Roger Waters Lyrics: She was always here in my heart Always the love of my life We were strangers, oceans apart But when I laid eyes on her a part of me died --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Letra: Ella siempre estuvo aquí en mi corazón Siempre el amor de mi vida Éramos extraños, océanos separados Pero cuando la vi, una parte de mí murió

The Last Refugee Roger Waters Lyrics: Lie with me now Under lemon tree skies Show me the shy, slow smile you keep hidden by warm brown eyes Catch the sweet hover of lips just barely apart And wonder at loves sweet ache And the wild beat of my heart Oh, rhapsody tearing me apart And I dreamed I was saying goodbye to my child She was taking a last look at the sea Wading through dreams, up to our knees in warm ocean swells While bathing belles, soft beneath Hard bitten shells punch their iPhones Erasing the numbers of radon done lovers And search the horizon And you'll find my child Down by the shore Digging a mound for a chain or a bone Searching the sand for a relic washed up by the sea  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Letra: Acuéstate conmigo ahora Bajo el cielo de limonero Muéstrame la sonrisa tímida y lenta que ocultas con tus cálidos ojos marrones Coge el dulce vuelo de los labios ape...

 Déjà Vu Roger Waters Lyrics: If I had been God I would have rearranged the veins in the face to make them more resistant to alcohol and less prone to ageing If I had been God I would have sired many sons and I would not have suffered the Romans to kill even one of them If I had been God With my staff and my rod If I had been given the nod I believe I could have done a better job If I were a drone Patrolling foreign skies With my electronic eyes for guidance And the element of surprise I would be afraid to find someone home Maybe a woman at a stove Baking bread, making rice, or just boiling down some bones If I were a drone The temple's in ruins The bankers get fat The buffalo's gone And the mountain top's flat The trout in the streams are all hermaphrodites You lean to the left but you walk to the right And it feels like déjà vu The sun goes down and I'm still missing you Counting the cost of love that got lost And under my Gulf...

Smell The Roses Roger Waters Lyrics: There's a mad dog pulling at his chain A hint of danger in his eye Alarm bells raging round his brain And the chimney's broken in the sky Wake up Wake up and smell the roses Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams Nothing but hope at the end of the road Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke Come on honey it's real money This is the room where they make the explosives Where they put your name on the bomb Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs And scratch out words like right and wrong Wake up Wake up and smell the phosphorus This is the room we keep a human heir Don't ask don't tell it couldn't be lost for us Little less cash in the stash in the cupboard At the bottom of the stair Money honey Wake up Wake up and smell the bacon Run your greasy fingers through her hair This is the li...
