  • Subtle lyrics be damned

    Sample these from “Leaving Beirut” – Roger Waters. By the way it is an awesome song!!

    Oh George! Oh George!
    That Texas education must have fucked you up when you were very small

    But now an Englishman abroad is just a US stooge
    The bulldog is a poodle snapping round the scoundrel’s last refuge

    Is gentleness too much for us
    Should gentleness be filed along with empathy
    We feel for someone else’s child
    Every time a smart bomb does its sums and gets it wrong
    Someone else’s child dies and equities in defence rise
    America, America, please hear us when we call
    You got hip-hop, be-bop, hustle and bustle
    You got Atticus Finch
    You got Jane Russell
    You got freedom of speech
    You got great beaches, wildernesses and malls
    Don’t let the might, the Christian right, fuck it all up
    For you and the rest of the world
