An Armistice Day Wish

[womzilla]

A place to stay
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children anymore.
And no one kills the children anymore.

--from "The Gunner's Dream", Roger Waters, 1981

I like Roger Waters a great deal, but listening to any of it is very bad for me because they earworm me and don't do good things to my brain.
