Amused To Death - Roger Waters[00:00:02]

Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me[00:01:14]

This supermarket life is getting long[00:01:22]

What is the heart life of a colour TV[00:01:30]

What is the shelf life of a teenage queen[00:01:38]

Ooh western woman[00:01:55]

Ooh western girl[00:02:03]

News hound sniffs the air[00:02:11]

When Jessica Hahn goes down[00:02:13]

He latches on to that symbol[00:02:19]

Of detachment[00:02:21]

Attracted by the peeling away of feeling[00:02:27]

The celebrity of the abused shell the belle[00:02:36]

Ooh western woman Ooh western girl[00:02:51]

Ooh western woman ooh western girl[00:03:07]

And the children of Melrose[00:03:24]

Strut their stuff[00:03:25]

Is absolute zero cold enough[00:03:27]

And out in the valley warm and clean[00:03:32]

The little ones sit by their TV screens[00:03:35]

No thoughts to think[00:03:40]

No tears to cry[00:03:44]

All sucked dry[00:03:47]

Down to the very last breath[00:03:50]

Bartender what is wrong with me[00:03:57]

Why am I so out of breath[00:04:00]

The captain said excuse me ma'am[00:04:04]

This species has amused itself to death[00:04:08]

Amused itself to death[00:04:12]

Amused itself to death[00:04:20]

We watched the tragedy unfold[00:04:28]

We did as we were told[00:04:34]

We bought and sold[00:04:36]

It was the greatest show on earth[00:04:38]

But then it was over[00:04:42]

We ohhed and aahed[00:04:45]

We drove our racing cars[00:04:46]

We ate our last few jars of caviar[00:04:49]

And somewhere out there in the stars[00:04:53]

A keen-eyed look-out[00:04:56]

Spied a flickering light[00:04:57]

Our last hurrah[00:05:00]

And when they found our shadows[00:05:09]

Grouped around the TV sets[00:05:13]

They ran down every lead[00:05:17]

They repeated every test[00:05:21]

They checked out all the data on their lists[00:05:25]

And then the alien anthropologists[00:05:31]

Admitted they were still perplexed[00:05:37]

But on eliminating every other reason[00:05:41]

For our sad demise[00:05:45]

They logged the only explanation left[00:05:49]

This species has amused itself to death[00:05:54]

No tears to cry no feelings left[00:06:06]

This species has amused itself to death[00:06:14]

Amused itself to death amused itself to death[00:06:24]

"Years later I saw Bill Hubbard's name on the memorial to the missing[00:06:32]

At Aras[ [00:06:49]

Was as though he was now a human being instead of some sort of[00:06:58]

Nightmarish memory of how I had to leave him all those years ago [00:07:04]

And I felt relieved and ever since then I've felt happier about it [00:07:15]

Because always before whenever I thought of him I said to myself [00:07:26]

'Was there something else that I could have done '[00:07:33]

"I'd rather die I'd rather die "[00:07:39]

And that always sort of worried me And having seen him and his[00:07:46]

Name in the register - as you know in the memorials there's a little safe [00:07:55]

There's a register in there with every name - and seeing his name and[00:07:59]

His name on the memorial; it sort of lightened my heart if you like "[00:08:04]

(Woman) "When was it that you saw his name on the memorial "[00:08:11]

"Ah when I was eighty-seven that would be a year ninete eighty-[00:08:30]

Four nineteen eighty-four "[00:08:37]
