Lyrics Roger Waters

Roger Waters

Me or Him

You wake up in the morning, get something for the pot

Wonder why the sun makes the rocks feel hot

Draw on the walls, eat, get laid

Back in the good old days

Then some damn fool invents the wheel

Listen to the whitewalls squeal

You spend all day looking for a parking spot

Nothing for the heart, nothing for the pot

Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio

Oh how he wanted to talk to the people,

he wanted his own show

Tune in Moscow, Tune in New York

Listen to the Welsh kid talk

Communicating like in the good old days

Forgive me father for i have sinned

It was either me or him

And the voice said Benny

You fucked the whole thing up

Benny your time is up

Your time is up

Benny turn the dial on his Short Wave radio

He wanted to talk to the people,

he wanted his own show

Tune in Moscow, Tune in New York

Listen to the Welsh kid talk communicating

Like in the good old days

Forgive me father

Welsh Policeman: Mobile one two to Central

For I have sinned

Welsh Policeman: We have a multiple on the A465

between Cwmbran and Cylgoch.

Father, it was either me or him

Father, can we turn back the clock?

Welsh Policeman: Ambulance, over.

I never meant to drop the concrete block,

Welsh Policeman: Roger Central, over and out.

Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio

He wanted to talk to the people,

He wanted his own show

Tune in Moscow, Tune in New York

Listen to the Welsh kid talk

Just like in the good old days

The good old days

Radio announcer: Do you really think Iranian terrorists would have

taken American hostage if Ronald Reagan were president?

Do you really think the Russians would have invaded Afghanistan if

Ronald Reagan were president?

Do you really think third-rate military dictators would laugh at

America and burn our flag in contempt if Ronald Reagan were

president?

Concerned Citizen: Well it might work!

Hostage: We as a group do most importantly want to beseech President

Reagan and out fellow Americans to refrain of any form of military

or violent means as an attempt, no matter how noble or heroic, to

secure our freedom.

Concerned Citizen: Sure! Only it's going to be mighty dangerous for

you, Cassidy

Hoppy's faithful sidekick guess you don't know Hopalong Cassidy,

Mister. Adventure's his bread, excitement's his butter and danger,

why to him that's like strawberry jam to top it off.

Jim: This is some live rock and roll at KAOS, where rock and roll

comes out of chaos and song called "The Powers that Be"...
