Lyrics Act 1: Scene 3: The Grievances of the People - Roger Waters
The
sparrow,
bedraggled,
looks
up
through
the
rain
And
dreams
of
a
little
more
grain
The
peacock,
plump
in
his
place
in
the
sun
Ignores
the
sound
of
the
distant
guns
Their
thunder
falls
upon
deaf
ears
The
peacock
never
sniffs
the
air
He
fails
to
see
that
a
starvation
diet
brings
The
scent
of
riot
on
the
breeze
The
King;
The
State;
La
France
Each
of
the
above
must
with
regret
cut
off
all
payment
The
cupboard
is
bare
The
State
of
France
lies
in
disrepair
The
Bishops
hide
the
grain;
to
the
attics
it′s
sent
If
everyone
is
hungry,
tell
me,
who
can
be
content?
Altogether
now!
We
hand
out
pamphlets,
we
join
a
club
We
shout
out
slogans
that
we
make
up
We
thumb
our
noses,
at
those
above
We
hand
out
pamphlets,
we
join
a
club
We
join
a
club,
a
safety
net
But
it's
more
like
a
gin
trap
that′s
been
carefully
set
We
write
what
we
can
on
the
cow's
flayed
hide
Our
grievances
are
noted
and
then
brushed
to
one
side
But
the
pain
we
feel
keeps
us
alive
Bushes
and
bones
and
sticks
and
stones
Now,
then,
women
and
men
In
Manosque
the
bishops
get
what
they
deserve
Stoned
to
death
and
we
retrieve
the
grain
from
their
reserves
Searching
for
our
courage
in...
(3x)
...this
folly
