roger waters and the bleeding heart band - me or him (2023 remix) lyrics

[instrumental intro]

[verse 1: roger waters]
you wake up in the morning, get something for the pot
wonder why the sun makes the rocks feel hot
draw on the walls, eat, get laid
back in the good old days
then, some d+mn fool invents the wheel
listen to the whitewalls squeal
you spend all day looking for a parking spot
nothing for the heart, nothing for the pot
[chorus: roger waters, background singers]
benny turned the dial on his shortwave radio
oh, how he wanted to talk to the people
he wanted his own show
tune in moscow, tune in new york
listen to the welsh kid talk
communicating likе in the good old days

[verse 2: roger waters]
forgive me fathеr, for i have sinned
it was either me or him
and a voice said
“benny, you f+cked the whole thing up
benny, your time is up” (your time is up)

[chorus: roger waters, backround singers]
benny turned the dial on his shortwave radio
he wanted to talk to the people
he wanted his own show [echoes]
tune in moscow, tune in new york
listen to the welsh kid talk
communicating like the good old days
the good old days

[interlude: benny & roger waters, police transponder]
“forgive me father (“mobile one two to central,”)
for i have sinned (“we have a multiple on the a465 between cwmbran and cylgoch,”)
father, it was either me or him
father, can we turn back the clock? (“over,”)
i never meant to drop the concrete block!” (“over and out”)
[chorus: roger waters, background singers]
benny turned the dial on his shortwave radio
oh, how he wanted to talk to the people
he wanted his own show
tune in moscow, tune in new york
listen to the welsh kid talk
just like in the good old days
the good old days

[spoken outro: radio announcer, concerned citizen & hoppy’s faithful sidekick, (hostage)]
“do you really think iranian terrorists would have taken americans hostage if ronald reagan were president?
do you really think the russians would have invaded afghanistan if ronald reagan were president?
do you really think third+rate military dictators would laugh at america, and burn our flag in contempt, if ronald reagan were president?”
“well, it might work! (“we as a group do most importantly want to beseech…) sure! (…president reagan and our fellow americans to refrain from any form of…) only, it’s going to be mighty dangerous for you, cassidy!”
(…military or violent means as an attempt, no matter how n0ble or heroic…)
“guess you don’t know hopalong cassidy, mister! adventure’s his bread, excitement’s his b+tter (…to secure our freedom”)
and danger, why to him that’s like strawberry jam to top it off!”
