"Hammer, Hammer, Hammer...."
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run
You better make your face up
In your favorite disguise
With your button-down lips
And your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising
From your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
As the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down your door
You better run

Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run
You better run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
And if you're taking your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
Gonna send you back to Mother
In a cardboard box
You better run

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.
