B. J. Cole - Perfect Sense, Part I lyrics

[Backmasked Speech (Original release)] "Julia, however, in the light and visions of the issues of Stanley, we changed our minds. We have decided to include a backward message. Stanley, for you, and for all the other book burners... *unintelligible yelling*" [Intro (2015 Remaster)] [HAL]: Stop Dave Will you stop Dave? Stop Dave I'm afraid I'm afraid Dave, my mind is going I can feel it I can feel it My mind is going There is no question about it I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it I'm afraid [Vocals: Roger Waters] The monkey sat on a pile of stone And he stared at the broken bone in his hand Strings of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land The monkey looked up at the stars And he thought to himself Memory is a stranger History is for fools And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town [Vocals: Roger Waters & P. P. Arnold] Hold on, hold on, soldier [Vocals: P. P. Arnold] When you add it all up The tears and the marrow bone There's an ounce of gold And an ounce of pride in each ledger And the Germans k** the Jews And the Jews k** the Arabs And the Arabs k** the hostages And that is the news And is it any wonder that the monkey's confused He said, "Mama, Mama, the President's a fool Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals?" And the joint chiefs of staff And the brokers on Wall Street said "Don't make us laugh, you're a smart kid." "Time is linear Memory's a stranger History is for fools Man is a tool In the hands of the great God Almighty." And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine Sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden
