The Tide Is Turning (After Live Aid).

(Waters)

I used to think the world was flat

Rarely threw my hat into the crowd

I felt I had used up my quota of yearning

Used to look in on the children at night

In the glow of their Donald Duck light

And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones

Burning

But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

The tide is turning.

Satellite buzzing through the endless night

Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights

Jesus Christ imagine what it must be earning

Who is the strongest, who is the best

Who holds the aces, the East or the West

This is the crap our children are learning

But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

The tide is turning

Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning.

Now the satellite's confused

'cos on Saturday night

The airwaves were full of compassion and light

And his silicon heart warmed

to the sight of a billion candles burning

Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning

Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning

The tide is turning Billy.

I'm not saying that the battle is won

But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun

Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the

War Lords

Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

The tide is turning Sylvester

The tide is turning.

Money.

(Waters)

Money, get away.

Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.

Money, it's a gas.

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.

New car, caviar, four star daydream,

Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.

I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.

Money, it's a hit.

Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.

I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set 

And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime.

Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.

Money, so they say

Is the root of all evil today.

But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're 

giving none away.

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"

"Yes, absolutely in the right!"

"I certainly was in the right!"

"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a

bruising!"

"Yeah!"

"Why does anyone do anything?"

"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"

"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking

why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and

screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.

It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"

Get Back to Radio.

(Waters)

Like an ember glowing in the dark

I have almost grown cold

Frozen like a soldier

Standing by the flagpole

Leg player, they all said was too old

I have been tempted to hand in my key.

But I am not alone

I feel you are with me

I will not be a packet of crap on MTV

I am a man

I will not be a number

Get back to radio

Get back to radio.

Now I am a flame

I will be a fire again

Carolyn Ann, give me your hand

Like a volcano.

Gettin' ready to blow

The new generation waits by its radio

God bless Bob Geldof

Get back to radio

Get back to radio

Get back.

All you want was a chance.
