The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range

You have a natural tendency
To squeeze off a shot
You're good fun at parties
You wear the right masks
You're old but you still
Like a laugh in the locker room
You can't abide change
You're at home on the range
You opened your suitcase
Behind the old workings
To show off the magnum
You deafened the canyon
A comfort a friend
Only upstaged in the end..... by the Uzi machine gun
Does the recoil remind you................Remind you of sex?
Old man what the hell you gonna kill next?
Old timer.....who you gonna kill next?
I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Saw a U.S. Marine in a pile of debris
I swam in your pools
And lay under your palm trees
I looked in the eyes of the Indian
Who lay on the Federal Building steps
And through the range finder over the hill
I saw the front line boys popping their pills
Sick of the mess they find
On their desert stage
And the bravery of being out of range...
Yeah the question is vexed..
Hey bartender over here
Two more shots and two more beers
Sir turn up the TV sound.....the war has started on the ground!
3000 miles away..................From 3000 miles away
You play the game with the bravery of being out of range!
You maim again with the bravery of being out of range!
Old man what the hell you gonna kill next?
Old timer who you gonna kill next?
From 3000 miles away.............
Till the next time friends

The text is the lyrics (in part) to a Roger Waters song called (wait for it) The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range.
Glad you thought it was funny

Didn't know ol' Rog had it in him.
He always did have a way with the caustic lyric.

I saw him live for the first time just recently here in the Netherlands on his Dark Side Of The Moon tour.
Incredible show!!
