Roger Waters - To kill the child

Tekst :

The child lay
In the starlit night
Safe in the glow of his Donald Duck light
How strange to choose to take a life
How strange to choose to kill a child
Hoover, Blaupunkt, Nissan Jeep
Nike, Addidas, Lacoste and cheaper brands
Cadillac, Amtrak, gasoline, diesel
Our standard of living, could this be a reason
That we would choose to kill the child
That we would choose to kill the child

Allah, Jehovah, Buddah, Christ
Confucius and Kali and reds, beans and rice
Goujons of sole, ris de veau, ham hocks
Lox bagels and bones and commandments in stone
The Bible, Koran, Shinto, Islam
Prosciutto, risotto, falafel and ham
Is it dogma, doughnuts, ridicule faith
Fear of the dark, or shame or disgrace
That we would choose to kill the child
That we would choose to kill the child

It s cold in the desert
And the space is too big
The rope is too short
And the walls are too thick
I will show you no weakness
I will mock you in song
Berate and deride you
Belittle and chide you
Beat you with sticks
And bulldoze your home
You can watch my triumphant procession to Rome
Best seat in the house
Up there on the cross
Is it anger or envy, profit or loss
That we would choose to kill the child
That we would choose to kill the child

Take this child and hold him closely
Keep him safe from the holy reign of terror
Take this child hold him closely
Take this child to the moral high ground
Where he can look down on the bigots and bully boys
Slugging it out in the yard

  • Watching tv
  • Too much rope
  • Folded flags
  • Goodbye cruel world
  • The tide is turning
  • The happiest days of our lives
  • Dogs
  • Get back to radio
  • The thin ice
  • Time
  • Run like hell
  • Towers of faith
  • Eclipse
  • Mother
  • Welcome to the machine
  • Breathe
  • One of my turns
  • Flickering flame

    Deja vu

    Quiero revivir la pasión que ayer mostrábamos delante de la gente.
    Como nos abrazábamos, como me acariciabas la cara lentamente así.
    Dame la oportunidad de gozar de tus besos. Tus caricias las extraño. En tu cárcel vivo preso. Dame otra oportunidad. Bien sabes que yo soy de tí.

    No lo pienses dulce amor...

    Tak jak teraz jest

    [Duże Pe]
    Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, taa, ta, taa, ta

    Me rymy ruszą niemalże wszystkie turbiny tego miasta
    Skruszą patyny rutyny, którymi zasłał czas nas
    W blaskach miasta latarń, swatam strofy
    Zmieniam profil, ziemia obiera kurs na profit
    Nie ma miejsca na...

    Tears on the telephone

    What do the lonely do on Sundays?
    What do they do
    or does nobody care?
    Do they make it through to Mondays

    Or with a heart filled with pain do they just disappear?
    I tried so hard to play it real cool
    girl...

    Anytime

    I can t remember why we fell apart
    From something that was so ment to be
    Forever was the promise in the house
    Now more and more I wonder where you are

    Chorus
    Do I ever cross your mind, anytime?
    Do you ever...

    Walk alone

    Who s to say he s not the gifted one.
    well i forgot he s not the teacher s son.
    No he s just a reason for her to say
    that she needs a substance in her today
    well who s to say he s not...
