Roger Waters - Broken Bones

BROKEN BONES 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 oh, Mistress Liberty – How we abandoned thee, How we abandoned thee. Oh, Mistress Liberty, How we abandoned thee. Could have been born in Shreveport Or he could have born in Teheran. 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 believe that their fight is for liberty, To believe that 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. But we can say "fuck you", We will not listen to Your bullshit and lies. Your bullshit and lies...
