Roger Waters - Folded flags

Tekst :

Rock a bye baby
On the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
Oh babe, hate to see you fall that way
Better speak to the powers that be today
Hey Joe, where you goin
With that gun in your hand?
You can take your revenge
But you ll still feel bad
There must be more to life than lucky strikes
And some unlucky ones
And folded flags and pipes
And drums

I stood in the wings with you
Our lives in the hands of a second-rate actor
Holding the high ground
Of some old stage
Oh babe, how do these jaded stars get so far away
Will they catch what the moral had to say

Hey Joe, where you goin
With that dogma in your head?
You can prove your point
But your kids will still be dead
Bring down the curtain
This soap opera must surely close
Before the cold wind blows

Hey Joe, where you going
With that gun in your hand
You can take your revenge
But you ll still feel bad
Bring down the curtain
This show must close
Before the cold wind blows

So rock a bye baby
On the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
There must be more to life than lucky strikes
And some unlucky ones
And folded flags and pipes
And drums

    Trapped

    If i say no i ll be free but all alone
    When i say yes i ll be trapped
    but i ll have some one
    I m inside out cuz I don t know
    Decide before i arrive
    Yes or no if I say yes i ll be trapped
    When im trapped i ll have some...

    Śpiewać każdy może

    Śpiewać każdy może,
    trochę lepiej, lub trochę gorzej,
    ale nie oto chodzi,
    jak co komu wychodzi.
    Czasami człowiek musi,
    inaczej się udusi,
    ooo

    Lubię piosenki, różne inne dźwięki
    szczególnie jak mnie co wzruszy
    rzuca mnie się na uszy.
    Teraz...

    You are the one

    There s a mountain
    Which I wanted to climb
    With tears on my mind
    And there s a love song
    That I needed to write
    For someone so right
    And I have seen a million fading stars
    They were shining so bright
    Through a steamy night
    There s more that...

    Genie dance

    Chorus:

    Tight and yuh...

    A hero for one day

    Keep on dreaming – keep reaching for the stars
    Feel the power – it’s deep inside your heart
    It’s such a long way to the top
    But when you’re half way there
    Nothing should ever make you stop
    You’ve learned your lesson
    You should...
