There's a great deal of satisfaction to be earned from it but often it's also a terrible burden. Roger Waters artistblessingpeople All that you touch All that you see All that you taste All you feel. All that you love All that you hate All you distrust All you save. All that you give All that you deal All that you buy, beg, borrow or steal.

That bridges are better than walls, that nationalism and exceptionalism is destroying our world and destroying our lives. Roger Waters walltryingworld I had at one point this rather depressing image of some alien culture seeing the death of this planet - coming down in their spaceships and sniffing around; finding all our skeletons sitting around our TV sets and trying to work out why our end came before its time and they come to the conclusion that we amused ourselves to death.

We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here. Roger Waters painrunningwar
