"Mother" lyric question

Not necesisarily.. The French have a President, as do many other countries.

ummm...it's "trust" the Government, which all countries, of course, do have.

Also, "President" rhymes with "government"--- which Prime Minister does not.

He never says President of what though. He could mean President of the Gloomy Old Bastards Club.

I thought he already was President of the Gloomy Old Bastards Club?

No, that wasn't until after the Final Cut was released. You must mean Junior Vice-President.

This internal struggle, of course, forms the basis for one of Roger's lesser known works, "The Pros and Cons of Campaigning for Senior Positions In Exclusive Parliamentary Societies of Gloomy Old Bastards."

What were you doing listening to PF in class anyway? You should pay more attention to your studies! Repeat after me: "The area of an acre is a rectangle whose length is one furlong, and whose width is one chain."

Wasn't some of 'de Wall' recorded here in the U.S.?? That really probably has nothing to do with it, but I gave it a try.

I know on the Is There Anybody Out There? version of Mother, when Rog asks "should I trust the Gov't.", the crowd responds with a "no". How popular was the British Government during the time of the recording??

Part of "The Wall" album was recorded in New York City.
