Lyrics Roger Waters

Roger Waters

Perfect Sense, Part II

Can't you see

It all makes perfect sense

Expressed in dollars and cents

Pounds shillings and pence

Can't you see

It all makes perfect sense

Little black soul departs in perfect focus

Prime time fodder for the News at Nine

Darling is the child warm in the bed tonight

Hi everybody I'm Marv Albert

and welcome to our telecast

coming to you live from Memorial Stadium.

It's a beautiful day

and today we expect a sensational matchup.

But first our global anthem.

Can't you see

It all makes perfect sense

Expressed in dollars and cents

Pounds shillings and pence

Can't you see

It all makes perfect sense

And here come the players.

As I speak to you now the captain

has his cross hairs zeroed in on the oil rig.

It looks to me like he's going to attack.

By the way did you know that a submarine

captain earns 200,000 dollars a year.

Oh that's less tax Marv yeah less tax.

Uh thank you Emery you're welcome.

Now back to the game he fires one yes

there goes two both fish are running.

The rig is going into a prevent defense.

Will they make it? I don't think so.

Can't you see

It all makes perfect sense

Expressed in dollars and cents

Pounds shillings and pence

Can't you see

It all makes perfect sense
