The most hatefull lyrics

I noticed that in In The Flesh Part 2, there are some very hateful lyrics, and I was wondering, is this meant to be like the oppression in Pink's mind in the movie like the German-type Hitlerish guy doing the concert, or is this a dark side (forgive the pun) of Waters we don't see very often. This is also slightly evedent in Run Like Hell when he says things like sending you back th other in pieces. Are there any other lyrics like this?

It's the theatrics involved with the Pink/Hitlerian role. Roger is not a racist.

Hi and welcome J007 - there's some great posts on this elsewhere on the board. Try the search function, and you'll find 'em.

(Hey, it's better than just posting "ARGGH")

ARGGH

Oh, wait - it wasn't.

I thought 'Mother' on the first part of the wall was pretty rage-filled. I can relate to him with that song as well.

sheep and pigs:3DO are meant to be offensive, if that's what you mean.

When the tigers broke free is full of hate.

Here's a related oldie-but-moldy from out of the wayback machine.

eh you cant blame roger for being pist. he grew up without a dad, becuase of a gay war, called WWII. No offense to you war veterans.

A 'gay' war, you say?

D'y'know, I had no idea.

Oh yeah Marko... It's hard to tell because most all the photos were in B/W.. but Rommels entire Afrika Corps was painted in Pink Paisley.. I do believe that the Luftwaffe also had a few divisions of fighters that featured a pink triangle and rainbow colors on the tail as well..

Ah. Yeah, soory, I hadn't noticed. And all those guys in London running about with their arses on fire during The Blitz...

It's all so obvious now.



Thanks for clearing that up!

No problem.....happy to oblige.

I'd say that the lyrics to 'Us and Them' are quite critical and damning, but wouldn't go so far as to say 'hateful'
