Roger Waters "The Tide Is Turning (After Live Aid)" lyrics

The Tide Is Turning (After Live Aid)

I used to think the world was flatRarely threw my hat into the crowdI felt I had used up my quota of yearning

Used to look in on the children at nightIn the glow of their Donald Duck lightAnd frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning

But ooh, the tide is turningThe tide is turning

Satellite buzzing through the endless nightExclusive to moonshots and the world title fightsJesus Christ, imagine what it must be earning

Who is the strongest, who is the bestWho holds the aces, the East or the WestThis is the crap that our children are learning

But ooh, the tide is turning[Ooh] The tide is turningThe tide is turning[Ooh, the tide is turning]

Now the satellite's confused'Cause on Saturday nightThe airwaves were full of compassion and lightAnd his silicon heart warmed to the sightOf a billion candles burning

[Ooh, the tide is turning][Ooh, the tide is turning]The tide is turning Billy

I'm not saying the battle is wonBut on Saturday night all those kids in the sunWrested technology's sword from the hands of the warlords

Ooh, the tide is turningOoh, the tide is turningThe tide is turning Sylvester

[Ooh, the tide is turning][Ooh, the tide is turning][Ooh, the tide is turning][Ooh, the tide is turning][Ooh, the tide is turning][Ooh, the tide is turning][Ooh, the tide is turning][Ooh, the tide is turning][Ooh, the tide is turning]

[Morse Code:] "That's it!Now the past is over but you are not aloneTogether we'll fight Sylvester StalloneWe will not be dragged down in his South China SeaOf macho bullshit and mediocrity"
