מילים לשיר Amused To Death – Roger Waters

Doctor, Doctor, what is wrong with me
This supermarket life is getting long
what is the shelf life of a teenage queen
what is the heart life of a color tv Ooooh western woman, Ooooh western girl
News hound sniffs the air, when Jessica Hahn goes down
Attracted by the peeling away of feeling
He latches on to that symbol of detatchment
The celebrity of the abused shell, the belle Ooooh western woman, Oooooh western girl
Ooooh western woman, Oooooh western girl
And the children of Melrose strut their stuff is absolute zero cold enough
and out in the valley, warm and clean
no thoughts to think, no tears to cry
the little ones sit by their tv screen
all sucked dry, down to the very last breathe
bartender what is wrong with me,
why am i so out of breathe
the species has amused itself to death the captain said excuse me ma'am
amused itself to death
it has amused itself to death
amused itself to death we watched a tragedy unfold
we bought and sold
we did as we were told
but then it was over
it was the greatest show on earth
we ohhed and awed
we drove our racing cars
we ate our last few jars of caviar
a keen eyed look out
and somewhere out there in the stars
our last hurrah
spied a flickering light
our last hurrah
and when they found our shadows
grouped round the tv sets
they ran down every lead
they repeated every test
they checked out all the data on their list
and then the alien anthropologist
admitted they were still perplexed
but on eliminating every other reason
for our sad demise
they logged the only explanation left
no tears to cry, no feelings left
this species has amused itself to death the species has amused itself to death
amused itself to death.
