It's tiring.

Well it's bulls and blood,It's dust and mud,It's the roar of a Sunday crowd.It's the white in his knuckles,The gold in the buckle,He'll win the next go 'round.It's boots and chaps,It's cowboy hats,It's spurs and latigo.It's the ropes and the reins,And the joy and the pain,And they call the thing rodeo.

Wish You Were Here So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skys from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heros for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.
Roger Waters
