In the Flesh II Lyrics

So ya
Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you folks really stand.

Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!

Cover art for In the Flesh II lyrics by Pink Floyd

im sorry but youre retarded. ive run into other people that say, "hey this racist, they shouldnt be saying those things." Its a satire, he's singing out a character, from a different narrator, he's not Roger Waters. He's playing a bigot, its a concept album.

Pretty sure this In The Flesh Part I.

Lyric Correction

Seriously, this song is in the "crazy" part of the album where the main character Pink has gone insane, and he has been injected with some medicine by the doctor that is making him hallucinate. The whole thing about Nazism and racism is that he essentially becomes what killed his father in WWII: a fascist dictator like Hitler. It's supposed to be ironic and over the course of the next 2 songs ("Run Like Hell" and "Waiting for the Worms") he becomes exactly like Hitler before realizes what's happened to his mind and sets things right.

My Interpretation
Cover art for In the Flesh II lyrics by Pink Floyd

ugh, these lyrics are full of mistakes.... they really shouldn't be here. On The Wall their is a song called "In the Flesh" and a differents one called "In the Flesh?". Their is no "In the Flesh II"

Just go comment on "In the Flesh" , just incase though, here are the right lyrics

That's the other version dear. This is track 1 of the album, the one you describe is track 21

Not Valid

  1. IT'S NOT ROGER WATERS. IT'S A HALLUCINATION OF PINK AS AN ENGLISH HITLER.
  2. It's 'In The Flesh?', the ? is saying that he's not real
  3. Yes, it IS racist, THEY ARE TAKING THE FUCKING PISS OUT OF HITLER

i wish the versin was FROM the movie, co the one in the movie rocked! where he was yelling and screaming as he sang

Cover art for In the Flesh II lyrics by Pink Floyd

This song is when his shows start become Neo-Nazi-esque political rallies, creating angry mobs. He has gone crazy behind his "wall". and believes himself to be a fascist dictator.
