作词 : Roger Waters
Stop Dave
Will you stop Dave
Stop Dave
I'm afraid
I'm afraid, Dave
Dave, my mind is going
I can feel it
I can feel it
My mind is going
There is no question about it
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
I'm afraid
The monkey sat on a pile of stones
And stared at the broken bone in his hand
And the stains of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land
The monkey looked up at the stars
And thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town
Hold on, hold on soldier
When you add it all up, the tears and the marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans killed the jews
And the jews killed the Arabs
And the Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder
That the monkey's confused
He said mama, mama
The president's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading
These technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on wall street said
Don't make us laugh
You're a smart kid
Time is linear
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God almighty
And they gave him command
Of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back in search of
The garden of Eden
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 (hold on, soldier)
Prime time fodder for the News at nine (hold on, hold on, soldier)
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 match-up
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 crosshairs zeroed in on the oil rig!
He's at periscope depth
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?
That's less tax, Marv
Yeah, less tax, thank you, Edward
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!
Look out! Look at that baby burn!
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
Can't you see?
It all makes perfect sense
