Broken Bones

Roger Waters

5

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 wallWho 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)

And, oh, Mistress Liberty

How we abandon thee

Could have been born in Shreveport

Or he could have born in Tehran

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
