Roger Waters Lyrics

Album: Amused to Death

Perfect Sense, Part II Lyrics

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

[Marv Albert:] "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 matchup

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

[Marv:] "And here come the players

As I speak to you now, the captain

Has his cross hairs zeroed in on the oil rig

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"

[Edward:]"That's less tax Marv"

[Marv:]"Yeah, less tax

Thank you Edward"

[Edward:]"You're welcome"

[Marv:]"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"

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
