The lyrics open with the image of a child sleeping "in the glow of Donald Duck light", a reference to Waters' prior song "The Tide Is Turning."

Waters goes on to ask why a culture whose primary concerns are luxury, consumption and petty values would "kill the child".

The song ends with a plea to protect children from the crusade-waging "bigots and bully boys / Slugging it out in the yard."

First you've got the Waters touch on the tempo and rhythm. It's a groove that feels really good. Ever since *The Wall* he has been into lively grooves that are faster than the classic Pink Floyd Embryo/Cymbaline/Echoes rhythms. (Which are also great.) But secondly, you've got the grand, sweeping vista of lyrics, just a flood of lyrics that can get you in the gut. So this is really good, and I like it much better than, say, "What God Wants, Part 1". On the other hand: The harmonic range is pretty tight, not a wide or intricate sequence. That's normal for Waters. And a couple of lines felt like they had extraneous words going on and on, after the singing should have stopped. Nobody's edited his lyrics but himself since *The Wall,* which of course Bob Ezrin did. And David Gilmour pushed him to edit "Dogs" from *Animals* because there were just too many rapid-fire words when it was "Gotta Be Crazy", and also too high-pitched. It's good for even a genius to be edited sometimes. The real surprise is that we have a loud, high-pitched Roger singing the bridge by himself. As a solo artist, he's often sang doubled by women on high-pitched melodies like in "Every Stranger's Eyes" or "Home". And he's got all his classic women singers, Kisson, Chanter, and PP Arnold, who is almost Roger's "alt" voice now. But these bridge vocals sound both doubled, and artificial, i.e. AutoTune. Which is perfectly okay; I'm in favor of an artist realizing his vision, no matter what it takes. I'm just noticing them because I can't help it, and I think others would notice them too. This is really quite a piece of work, and I wanted to geek out a little bit and cover everything I heard in the song. So as one last touch, I want to compliment the bass and the tremelo-effected guitar in the intro. Really, really nice! And you did a great slideshow with lyrics, and thanks so much for sharing.
