Perfect Sense Part 1 by Roger Waters
Perfect Sense Part 1
Ab Db
The monkey sat on a pile of stone
Gb
And he stared at the broken bone in his hand
Cb
and the strains of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land
Gb
The monkey looked up at the stars
And he thought to himself
Cb E
Memory is a stranger History is for fools
A
And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing
B
Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town
E
Hold on, hold on soldier
A
When you add it all up, the tears and the marrowbone
D
There's an ounce of gold and an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans kill the Jews and the Jews kill the Arabs
G
And the Arabs kill the hostages and that is the news
A
And is it any wonder that the monkey's confused
D
He said Mama Mama, the President's a fool
G
Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff And the brokers on Wall Street said
C
Don't make us laugh, you're a smart kid
Time is linear, Memory's a stranger
F
History is for fools, Man is a tool in the hands of the great God Almighty
G
And they gave him command of, a nuclear submarine
G C
And sent him back, in search of the Garden of Eden
