Molly stood still in the rain and wept
Young Billy kicked stones down the courthouse step
The police linked arms in a line to hold back the crowd
How much longer Mum, said Ben
Why's that policeman kicking that man?
Can we have a bit of jam on our bread today?
Then the whistle blew and the gates swung back
Wave, said Molly
Ben waved his cap
At two eyes looking through a little slot
Like someone dying in a letter box
And Molly said:
Say goodbye to the valley
Say goodbye to the rain
Through the miracle of telecommunications
In the private sector
We got a message today
Your Great Uncle David, your great Uncle David
The one who went to the USA
The one with the swimming pool and the palm trees
And the big dog, the BIG dog
Has asked you to stay, to stay
And you're going, going, going
To live in LA
Going, going, going
Oh, Hollywood hills
Oh, midnight thrills
Benny, your time has come
Oh, oh, Benny don't drink the water
Stay away from the cocaine slaughter
Oh, Benny, you don't get caught, you'll have some fun
And I'm going into him
Benny, Benny
Yeah!
Get down.
Oh no, Benny, be cool, don't drink the water
Oh no, Benny, stay away from the boss' daughter
Now there's a hundred miles of sushi bars
And pastel convertible cars
And up on Mulholland Drive
Where Warren Beatty locks himself in his safe at night just to stay alive
Nothing's going on
Nothin's goin' on
Roger Waters, born George Roger Waters on September 6, 1943, in Great Horwood, Buckinghamshire, is a British singer-songwriter, musician, and composer. He is best known as the bassist and co-founder of Pink Floyd, with whom he achieved worldwide fame in the 1970s thanks to iconic albums such as *The Dark Side of the Moon* (1973), *Wish You Were Here* (1975), and *Animals* (1977). Waters was the primary lyricist and composer for Pink Floyd until 1985, when he left the band due to internal conflicts. After his departure from Pink Floyd, Waters embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as *The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking* (1984), *Radio K.A.O.S.* (1987), and *Amnesiac* (2001). His works are characterized by often political and social lyrics that address themes such as war, violence, consumerism, and the loss of identity. Among his most famous songs are "Another Brick in the Wall", "Comfortably Numb", "Us and Them", and "Money". Waters is considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, with an indelible mark on progressive rock music.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
