    So we’re gonna need to build a Truman show set, with actors (or fucking clones, I dunno) of people in his admin, to literally contain his madness.

    Just… yep Donald, yep, you’re still the President, and everyone loves you, mhm, yep.

    This is certainly morally superior to the reverse, where he is just an insane madman, but… actually in charge of important things.

      take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
      and build them a home
      a little place of their own
      the fletcher memorial home for incurable tyrants and kings

      they could appear to themselves everyday
      on closed-circuit TV
      to make sure they’re still real
      it’s the only connection they feel

      did they expect us to treat them with any respect?
      they can polish their medals, and sharpen their smiles,
      and amuse themselves playing games for awhile.
      boom-boom, bang-bang, lie down, you’re dead.

      safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
      it’s their favorite toy
      they’ll be good girls and boys
      in the fletcher memorial home for colonial wasters of life and limb

      is everyone in?
      are you having a nice time?
      now the final solution can be applied.

        Damn, did you write that?

        That’s quite good as a poem, and you could probably build a kickass array of songs out of it as well.

            I’m so disappointed it from THAT album… maybe the music sucks because the focus is, misery the lyrics are trying to convey? My brain kinda focuses on the music vs the lyrics so the Final Cut is a very hard album to enjoy, but maybe there’s more to it…

              …it’s not their most accessible album - it really demands immersive, focused listening to fully appreciate, and it takes several listens in the right frame of mind to really click - but once it clicks, it’s their greatest album…

              …are there better pink floyd albums?..arguably yes*, but there are no greater albums by pink floyd…

              *(it’s really a roger waters solo album with world-class session musicians)

                Oh I know… I honestly find the half of the Wall that sounds similar to the Final Cut very unpleasant too, I much prefer Atom Heart Mother or Meddle, but I’m not hearing the lyrics, just the music.

                Wish you were here and Animals are amazing too. DSOTM is just simply its own beast.
