Roger Waters - "Two Suns in the Sunset" or "What Republicans Want"

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

As I was sadly reflecting on the passing of Pink Floyd's Richard Wright, another, grimmer memory raised its head, Back in 1983, a Wright-less Pink Floyd (a contradiction in terms, IMO) released "The Final Cut." This was Roger's most bitter and disillusioned work ever, and it ended with a terrifying and achingly sad song "Two Suns in the Sunset."

To my horror, I realized that Roger had prophesied with a grim and terrible accuracy the fate Grampy and Mooselini are so eager to give us.

Submitted for your consideration

"Two Suns In The Sunset"

in my rear view mirror the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and i think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and i suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come
the rusty wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way
and suddenly it's day again
the sun is in the east
even though the day is done
two suns in the sunset
hmmmmmmmmm
could be the human race is run
like the moment when your brakes lock
and you slide toward the big truck
and stretch the frozen moments with your fear
and you'll never hear their voices
and you'll never see their faces
you have no recourse to the law anymore
and as the windshield melts
my tears evaporate
leaving only charcoal to defend
finally i understand
the feelings of the few
ashes and diamonds
foe and friend
we were all equal in the end
