TOWERS OF FAITH

 

Lyrics - Roger Waters

Music - Roger Waters

 

Ooooh, the lonely boys
In their towers of faith
Ooooh, the lonely boys
Locked in their tower of faith

The prophet reclined
In the Golan heights

Ooooh, the lonely boys

He said "This land is my land"
To the shiites

Ooooh, the lonely boys

And Jehova looked up from the sea of Galilee beneath
He said "I see you , you thief!
This land is my land
And this sand is my sand
And this band is my band

Oh the lonely boys
Lookin' over their shoulder
Checkin' out every boulder in the park
Where the gates are closed from hate
After dark

And the Pope rolled up in his armoured van
He fell on his knees and kissed the land
He said something that I did not understand
It was in Polish
Then up stepped an aide, he said "I will translate
Here is what His Holiness said:
'I am the Chief Jesuit
This land is Jesus' Land
And that is all
All that there is to it'"

And in New York City
The business man in his mohair suit
In the world trade center
Puffs on his cheroot
And he said
"Well I don't care who owns the desert sands,
My brief
Is with the hydrocarbons underneath"

And the sea of battle rages around the ancient tombs
And mother nature licks her wounds
And the lonely boys locked in their towers of faith
Who are nervous in the park when the gates are closed after dark

Ooooh, the lonely boys
In their towers of faith
Ooooh, the lonely boys
Locked in their tower of faith.
