So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk-on part in the war For a leading role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here
I could hear each word, as it is. I could not recreate entirely all of the song simultaneously.
Could niggers even read it?
In my youth, I had a Jewish girlfriend (yeah, I know) who broke up with me with the lyrics to this song. Years later, while I was married to an Irish gal, guess who calls my family looking for me. Hahaha! She wished I were here. Nope.
