With Roger Waters. Exceptional talent here. Love music; love peace ? Then you'll love this. Know every note, or first time listen - let's go ..... Ashes and diamonds; We are all equal, In the end. Mother, will they drop the bomb ? [hint - they did already - two different designs tested on the ["inferior"] women, children and elderly of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; among others]. Mother, should I trust the government - [no ****ing way ! Five Eyes brat pack] Mother / state / control. Only because the masses are (deliberately) distracted by TV, shopping, sex, fashion, alcohol, gambling, and more, can the tiny minority elite enslave us. It's like a cult; part of it ? Alive, or just a robotic believer ?? A fool is one who doesn't know what they are doing, or why they are doing it. Don't be fooled.
