amused to death

"Reached back for the bottle
And rubbed against the lamp
Genie came out smiling
Like some Eastern tramp
He said 'hey boy what's happening,
What is going on?
You can have three wishes
If you dont take too long'
I said well
I wish that all were happy Lebanon...
Wish somebody'd help me write this song
I wish when I was young
My old man had not been gone
Genie said consider it done..."

"Three Wishes" by Roger Waters. Album "Amused to Death"
Its what i was listening to whilst putting this together. Its a very relevant album at the moment i think.
