[Verse: Roger Waters] If you didn't care what happened to me And I didn't care for you We would zigzag our way through the boredom and pain Occasionally glancing up through the rain Wondering which of the buggers to blame And watching for pigs on the wing

Dogs
[Verse 1: David Gilmour] You got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need Gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street Got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed Then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight You got to strike when the moment is right Without thinking And after a while, you can work on points for style Like the club tie, and the firm handshake A certain look in the eye and an easy smile You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to So that when they turn their backs on you You'll get the chance to put the knife in
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude: Roger Waters] (Wah! *laughter*)
[Verse 2: David Gilmour] You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder You know, it's going to get harder, harder and harder As you get older Yeah, and in the end you'll pack up, fly down south Hide your head in the sand Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude] *dogs barking and howling*
[Verse 3: David Gilmour, David Gilmour & Richard Wright] And when you lose control You'll reap the harvest you have sown And as the fear grows The bad blood slows and turns to stone And it's too late to lose the weight You used to need to throw around So have a good drown as you go down all alone Dragged down by the stone
[Interlude] *dogs barking and howling*
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4: Roger Waters] Got to admit that I'm a little bit confused Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off This creeping malaise If I don't stand my own ground How can I find my way out of this maze Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending That everyone's expendable and no one has a real friend And it seems to you the thing to do Would be to isolate the winner Everything's done under the sun But you believe at heart everyone's a killer
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro: Roger Waters] Who was born in a house full of pain Who was trained not to spit in the fan Who was told what to do by the man Who was broken by trained personnel Who was fitted with collar and chain Who was given a pat on the back Who was breaking away from the pack? (Breaking away from the pack) Who was only a stranger at home? (Only a stranger at home) Who was ground down in the end? (Ground down in the end) Who was found dead on the phone? (Found dead on the phone) Who was dragged down by the stone Who was dragged down by the stone

Pigs (Three Different Ones)
[Intro] *pig snorting*
[Verse 1] Big man, pig man, You well-heeled big wheel, And when your hand is on your heart
[Pre-Chorus] You're nearly a good laugh, almost a joker With your head down in the pig bin, Pig stain on your fat chin, Down in the pig mine
[Chorus] You're nearly a laugh You're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry
[Verse 2] Bus stop rat bag, You fucked up, old hag, You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
[Pre-Chorus] You're nearly a good laugh, almost worth a quick grin You like the feel of steel, you're hot stuff with a hatpin And good fun with a handgun
[Chorus] You're nearly a laugh You're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry
[Instrumental Break] *pig snorting*
[Verse 3] Hey you, Whitehouse, You house-proud town mouse, You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
[Pre-Chorus] You're nearly a real treat, all tight lips and And do you feel abused?
[Chorus] Mary, you're nearly a treat Mary, you're nearly a treat, but you're really a cry
[Guitar Solo]

Sheep
[Intro] *sheeps bleating*
[Verse 1] Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
[Chorus] You better watch out There may be dogs about I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen Things are not what they seem
[Verse 2] What do you get for pretending the danger's not real Meek and obedient, you follow the leader Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
[Chorus] What a surprise! A look of terminal shock in your eyes Now things are really what they seem No, this is no bad dream
[Bridge] The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want He makes me down to lie Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by With bright knives, He releaseth my soul He madeth me to hang on hooks in high places He converteth me to lamb cutlets For lo, He hath great power and great hunger When cometh the day we lowly ones Through quiet reflection and great dedication Master the art of karate Lo, we shall rise up And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water
[Verse 3] Bleating and babbling, we fell on his neck with a scream (Ahh! *laughter*) Wave upon wave of demented avengers March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
[Chorus] Have you heard the news The dogs are dead You better stay home and do as you're told Get out of the road if you want to grow old
[Instrumental Outro] *sheeps bleating*

Pigs on the Wing 2
[Verse: Roger Waters] You know that I care what happens to you And I know that you care for me too So I don't feel alone or the weight of the stone Now that I've found somewhere safe to bury my bone And any fool knows a dog needs a home A shelter from pigs on the wing
