What was Roger trying to say in Animals?
I have listened to this album over and over and I'm trying to see what Waters is saying. I've had some people say it's kinda like the book Animal Farm by George Orwell and that he feels people are either pigs, dogs, or sheep. I personally think it is about life sort of or how he views people. What do you people think?

You know that I care what happens to you....

He was trying to say that

Gov't are Pigs
Big Businessmen are Dogs
and folks in general are Sheep
Time is linear
Memory's a stranger
History's for fools
And man is a tool
In the hands of the great God almighty.....

Oh wait.. that came later.. forget the last part.
