Perfect Sense, Part I & II Songtext
von Roger Waters

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
