New Roger Waters Song

[viewaskewser]

Roger played a new song he wrote during quarantine at a Julian Assange benefit on Sunday, October 24th in NYC

Here's the video:


Roger comes on around 56 minutes in
The song begins around 1:01:30

Oh yeah, it's 'The Bar'. A sneak-peak of the studio version was featured on a previous interview w/ Randy Credico
Can anyone make out the lyrics ?

[Keith Jordan]

I got some of it....

Better quality audio >

Does everybody in the bar feel shame?
Lord knows I do. I guess we all feel pretty much the same.
Kind of worn out by this crazy fu**ing suits. the smell of napalm, with their cornflakes.
The chance of killing everything that breathes.
Imposing sanctions,on the lady down the street. Until she takes the hint, and packs her bags, and leaves

The JA recording certainly features many familiar Roger Waters riffs and styles; it had a slight feel of 'Final Cut' in places.

It is wonderful that we have the freedom and the technology to write and share protest songs from the comfort of our gated communities, thousands of miles from we actually hold citizenship.

I wonder if Roger will stay in New York when the income tax goes up next year, or if he and Shakira will go halfsies on another private island.

'Rich people aren't allowed an opinion' 'also that thing I read once in a tabloid that conveniently fits my pre-concieved view of a person is definitely definitely true' '(also I just really hate him for some reason)'

[ZiggyZipgun]

Rich people are entitled to their opinion - hell, they're entitled to lots of things. And lifelong hypocrites are allowed to pander and preach, and I'm allowed to point and laugh.

I like that he's speaking up about this.
