Broken Bones Songtext
von Roger Waters

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 wall
Who 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
