Píseň: The Tide Is Turning (After Live Aid)

Interpret:
Roger Waters
Album:
Flickering Flame: The Solo Years Volume 1
I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning


But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning


Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus Christ imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest, who is the best
Who holds the aces, the East or the West
This is the crap our children are learning


But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning


Now the satellite's confused 'Cos on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed
To the sight of a billion candles burning


Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Billy


I'm not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hands of the War Lords


Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Sylvester
The tide is turning


"That's it!" [Morse Code:] "Now the past is over but you are not alone. Together we'll fight Sylvester Stallone. We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea of macho bullshit and mediocrity."
