Hey Satan, You Bastard... Roger Waters

[Soldier]
Hey Satan, you bastard, you've cheated me! Look!
What the hell can I do? Does it say in the book?

[Narrator]
The soldier snatches up the book and leafs through it feverishly.

[Soldier]
It must be here somewhere, tell me, how, everyone.
All yon others are happy, how is it done?
I must know the secret, come on, please!
How can I be normal like I used to be?

[Narrator]
Distraught, the soldier starts thumbing madly through the book.
He is on the verge of tears, it is not a pretty sight.

[Soldier]
I had become proud, thought I'd won it all.
Now I just feel afraid and alone.
Cut off from the rest of the world by a wall.
How on earth did I stray this far from me home?

[Narrator]
Dear me, self-pity, not something we really wanted to see.
Good Lord, surprise, surprise, who should reappear, this time in disguise.
Dressed as a woman, like a tinker in drag,
The Devil hides behind a tree to watch and to listen.
