Too Much Rope

edited July 2006 in A Moving Train
When the sleigh is heavy
And the timber wolves are getting bold
You look at your companions
And test the water of their friendship
With your toe

They significantly edge
Closer to the gold

Each man has his price Bob
And yours was pretty low

History is short the sun just a minor star
The poor man sells his kidneys
In some colonial bazaar
Que sera sera
Is that your new Ferrari car
Nice but I'll think I'll wait for the F50

You don't have to be a Jew
To disapprove of murder
Tears burn my eyes
Moslem or Christians Mullah or Pope
Preacher or poet who was it wrote
Give any one species too much rope
And they'll fuck it up

And last night on TV
A Vietnam vet
Takes his beard and his pain
And his alienation twenty years
Back to Asia again
Sees the monsters they made
In formaldehyde floating 'round

Meets a gook on a bike
A good little tyke
A nice enough guy
With the same soldier's eyes

Tears burn my eyes
What does it mean
This tearjerking scene
Beamed into my home
That it moves me so much
Why all the fuss

It's only two humans being
It's only two humans being

Tears burn my eyes
What does it means
This tender TV
This tearjerking scene
Beamed into my home

You don't have to be a Jew
To disapprove my murder

Tears burn my eyes
Moslem or Christian Mullah or Pope
Preachers or poet who was it wrote
Give any one species too much rope
And they'll fuck it up

Lyrics: Roger Waters
From Album: Amused To Death

    Read the lyrics. They're meaningful, if you're willing to open up you mind for a few minutes.

    Or don't read them.

    Whatever.

    Thank you for sharing :)
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
