I noticed there are no posts on USM about Roger Waters in any way, and I just discovered this cool and thought-provoking song so I thought I'd post it & put up the first one! :) For those who aren't aware, Roger Waters was the main songwriter and creative force of Pink Floyd until leaving in 1985. The most known Pink Floyd song you can hear his voice on is the verses of Comfortably Numb (as opposed to David Gilmour on the chorus). Anyway, hope you like!

Miraculous you call it babe You ain't seen nothing yet They got Pepsi in the Andes They got McDonalds in Tibet Yosemite's been turned into a golf course For the Japs And the Dead Sea is alive with rap Between the Tigris and Euphrates There's a leisure centre now They got all kinds of sports They got Bermuda shorts They had sex in Pennsylvania A Brazilian grew a tree And a doctor in Manhattan Saved a dying man for free
It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle Another miracle By the grace of God Almighty And the pressures of the marketplace The human race has civilized itself It's a miracle
We got warehouses of butter We got oceans of wine We got famine when we need it We got designer crime We got Mercedes We got Porsche, Ferrari and Rolls Royce Yeah, we got choice She said meet me In the Garden of Gethsemene my dear The Lord said, Peter I can see your house from here An honest man Finally reaped what he had sown And a farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan
It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle Another miracle By the grace of God Almighty And the pressures of the marketplace The human race has civilized itself It's a miracle
We cower in our shelters With our hands over our ears Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff Runs for years and years and years An earthquake hits the theatre But the operetta lingers Then the piano lid comes down And breaks his fingers It's a miracle
