《Amused To Death》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:55] Ooh western woman

[00:02:03] Ooh western girl

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

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

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

[00:02:21] Of detachment

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:25] Strut their stuff

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

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

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

[00:03:40] No thoughts to think

[00:03:44] No tears to cry

[00:03:47] All sucked dry

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:12] Amused itself to death

[00:04:20] Amused itself to death

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

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

[00:04:36] We bought and sold

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

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

[00:04:45] We ohhed and aahed

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

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

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

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

[00:04:57] Spied a flickering light

[00:05:00] Our last hurrah

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

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

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

[00:05:21] They repeated every test

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

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

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

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

[00:05:45] For our sad demise

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:06:49] At Aras[

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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