[Intro]
*Clock ticking*
"Apparently they were traveling abroad and they picked up some hitchhikers, drill!"
*Drilling sound*
"Don't go!"
[Woman:] Wake up, you're dreaming
[Man:] What?
[Woman:] You're dreaming
[Man:] We were moving away from the border
[Woman:] Hm? Wha... what border?
[Man:] Have a nice day
[Woman:] Hm?
[Man:] Have a nice day

[Verse 1]
We were moving away from the border
Looking for somewhere to sleep
The two of us sharing the driving
Two hitchhikers slumped in the back seat
"Hello!" *laughs*

[Verse 2]
I sneaked a quick look in the mirror. *laughs*
She gave me a smile
I said, "Is anyone hungry?
Should we stop for a while?"

[Verse 3]
So we pulled off into a layby
Her dress blew up over her head
I said: "Would you like to come with me?"
She said something foreign under her breath

[Verse 4]
And the sun shown down on her lovely young limbs
I thought to myself, "She's much to too good for him"
I lay down beside her with tears in my eyes
She said...

Roger Waters, the lyrical mastermind behind most of Pink Floyd’s work in the 1970s, was the band’s bassist, vocalist and, at one point, its front man. He solidified himself as one of music’s greatest poets with Animals, a picture of modern society metaphorized as animals, and The Wall, an epic rock opera that follows a rockstar’s declining mental state and disillusionment with the world around him.

After leaving Pink Floyd, he went on to create even more works that geared towards geopolitical themes, with the electrifying Radio K.A.O.S. and the provoking Amused to Death.
