Standing at the window
A farmer's wife in Oxfordshire
Glances all the clock it's nearly time for tea
She doesn't see
The phantom in the hedgerow dip its wings
Doesn't hear the engine sing
But the cockpit's techno glow
Behind the Ray Ban (R) shine
The kid from Cleveland
In the comfort of routine
Scans his dials and smiles
Secure in the beauty of military life
There is no right or wrong
Only tin cans and cordite and white cliffs
And blue skies and flight flight flight
The beauty of military life
No questions only orders and flight only flight
What a beautiful sight in his wild blue dream
The eternal child leafs through his
War magazine
And his kind Uncle Sam feeds ten trillion in
Change into the total entertainment
Combat video game
And up here in the stands
The fans are goin' wild
The cheerleaders flip
When you wiggle your hip
And we all like the bit when you take
The jeans from the refrigerator and
The the bad guy gets hit
And were you struck by the satisfying
Way the swimsuit sticks to her skin
Like BB gun days
When knives pierce autumn leaves
But that's okay see the children bleed
It'll look great on the TV
And in Tripoli another ordinary wife
Stares at the dripping tap her old man hadn't
Time to fix
Too busy mixing politics and rhythm
In the street below

Roger Waters, all'anagrafe George Roger Waters, è un cantautore, musicista e compositore britannico nato a Great Horwood, Buckinghamshire, il 6 settembre 1943. È noto soprattutto come bassista e cofondatore dei Pink Floyd, con cui ha raggiunto fama mondiale negli anni '70 grazie a album iconici come *The Dark Side of the Moon* (1973), *Wish You Were Here* (1975) e *Animals* (1977). Waters è stato il principale autore di testi e musiche dei Pink Floyd fino al 1985, quando ha lasciato la band a causa di contrasti interni. Dopo la sua uscita dai Pink Floyd, Waters ha intrapreso una carriera solista di successo, pubblicando album come *The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking* (1984), *Radio K.A.O.S.* (1987) e *Amnesiac* (2001). Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da testi spesso politici e sociali, che affrontano temi come la guerra, la violenza, il consumismo e la perdita di identità. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Another Brick in the Wall", "Comfortably Numb", "Us and Them" e "Money". Waters è considerato uno dei musicisti più influenti del XX secolo, con un'impronta indelebile sulla musica rock progressiva.
