Roger Waters - When The Wind Blows
When The Wind Blows   30th October 1986

“Facts And Figures”     (Waters)
If all the food,
The Warsmen ate,
Was sent around the world.
No one would have to work,
A single day.

If all the money,
In the banks,
Was left to boy and girl,
No one could then complain,
About their pay.

Facts and figures,
Facts and figures,
Filling up the pages every day.
Facts and figures,
Facts and figures,
Spilling out of papers every day.

Upon the roads,
The accidents,
They rob us of the few.
Wars,
They take away so many more.

As long as we don't know them,
They remain upon the page.
It's the history book picture,
That you saw.

Facts and figures,
Facts and figures,
Filling up the pages every day.
Facts and figures,
Facts and figures,
Spilling out of papers every day.

Facts and figures,
Facts and figures,
Right or wrong is difficult to say.
'Cause everybody knows,
The way that the wind blows,
Facts and figures can be friends or foes.
Facts and figures.

Facts and figures,
Facts and figures,
Facts and figures.
Facts and figures,
Facts and figures,
Right or wrong is difficult to say.
'Cause everybody knows,
The way that the wind blows,
Facts and figures can be friends or foes,
So try to keep your fingers crossed,
When listening for the bell.
So facts and figures don't catch you as well.
So facts and figures don't catch us as well,
So facts and figures don't catch us as well,
So facts and figures don't catch us as well,
So facts and figures don't catch us as well.
