後戰爭期的 "安魂曲" ....
"THE FLETCHER MEMORIAL HOME"
一個暴君或獨裁者, 像小孩子玩弄他的雕塑士兵玩具一樣, 去看待與操控人們的生命, 這些對生命漠不關心的戰爭發動者, 同樣以 "FINAL SOLUTION 终極方案" 去對待他們好了。
這段憤怒的歌詞以 Roger 的父親 Fletcher 命名, 表達他對所有戰爭的唾罵。
9. THE FLETCHER MEMORIAL HOME
Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
And build them a home
A little place of their own
The Fletcher Memorial Home
For incurable tyrants and kings
And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit TV
To make sure they're still real
It's the only connection they feel

And now, adding color, Who's the bald chap?
a group of anonymous Latin American
meat packing glitterati." 拉丁美洲的獨裁者
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?'
They can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles
And abuse themselves playing games for a while
Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead
Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
With their favorite toy
They'll be good girls and boys
In the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial wasters
of life and limb
Is everyone in?
Are you having a nice time? Good-bye!
