To Kill The Child - Roger Waters[00:00:00]
The child lay[00:00:30]
In the starlit night[00:00:31]
Safe in the glow of his Donald Duck light[00:00:32]
How strange to choose to take a life[00:00:35]
How strange to choose to kill a child[00:00:38]
Hoover Blaupunkt Nissan Jeep[00:00:41]
Nike Addidas Lacoste and cheaper brands[00:00:44]
Cadillac Amtrak gasoline diesel[00:00:47]
Our standard of living could this be a reason[00:00:49]
That we would choose to kill the child[00:00:53]
Choose to kill[00:00:56]
That we would choose to kill the child[00:00:59]
Allah Jehovah Buddah Christ[00:01:05]
Confucius and Kali and reds beans and rice[00:01:07]
Goujons of sole ris de veau ham hocks[00:01:10]
Lox bagels and bones[00:01:13]
And commandments in stone[00:01:14]
The Bible Koran Shinto Islam[00:01:16]
Prosciutto risotto falafel and ham[00:01:19]
Is it dogma doughnuts ridicule faith[00:01:22]
Fear of the dark or shame or disgrace[00:01:25]
That we would choose to kill the child[00:01:28]
That we would choose to kill the child[00:01:34]
It's cold in the desert[00:01:40]
And the space is too big[00:01:41]
The rope is too short[00:01:43]
And the walls are too thick[00:01:44]
I will show you no weakness[00:01:45]
I will mock you in song[00:01:47]
Berate and deride you[00:01:48]
Belittle and chide you[00:01:50]
Beat you with sticks[00:01:51]
And bulldoze your home[00:01:53]
You can watch my triumphant[00:01:54]
Procession to Rome[00:01:55]
Best seat in the house[00:01:57]
Up there on the cross[00:01:58]
Is it anger or envy profit or loss[00:02:00]
That we would choose to kill the child[00:02:04]
That we would choose to kill the child[00:02:09]
Take this child and hold him closely[00:02:50]
Keep him safe from the holy reign of terror[00:02:56]
Take this child hold him closely[00:03:08]
Take this child to the moral high ground[00:03:14]
Where he can look down[00:03:19]
On the bigots and bully boys[00:03:21]
Slugging it out in the yard[00:03:25]
