Parliamoci chiaro, pur amando alla follia il loro primo periodo, quelli della Syd Barrett era, i Pink Floyd sono stati e saranno per sempre Roger Waters. Questo senza sminuire l'apporto fondamentale di Gilmour e soci. Waters è un genio del nostro tempo, probabilmente una delle menti più fervidi cui possa vantare la musica attraverso i secoli. Il video è in oggetto è quello di "It's A Miracle", estratto da quell'immenso capolavoro dal titolo "Amused To Death". Se vi capita date anche una lettura al testo sotto. Disco pubblicato nel 1992 già avanti di 20 per i temi contenuti. E "It's A Miracle" ne rappresenta il classico esempio lampante.



Miraculous you call it babe, You ain't seen nothing yet
They've got Pepsi in the Andes, McDonalds in Tibet
Yosemite's been turned into A golf course for the Japs
The Dead Sea is alive with rap
Between the Tigris and Euphrates There's a leisure centre now
They've got all kinds of sports They've got Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
A doctor in Manhattan Saved a dying man for free
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've got warehouses of butter, We've got oceans of wine
We've got famine when we need it, Got designer crime
We've got Mercedes, We've got Porsche, Ferrari and Rolls Royce
We've 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 family man Finally reaped what he had sown
A farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan
It's a 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 fucking fingers
It's a miracle...
