"To Laugh Is To Know How To Live" lyrics - ROGER WATERS
ROGER WATERS
"To Laugh Is To Know How To Live"
[Marie Marianne:]
To laugh is to know how to live
To see is to know everything
To read is to hold the key that you need
The key you need to set you free
[Ringmaster:]
All the world can see that in this great library
There's a good medicine against tyranny
And the movement of the heavens
Though it may last forever
Sees no right, no wrong, no weak, no strong
And the star you see in the sky and the moon and the sun
Shine on prince and pauper alike and favour no one
[Solo Girl & Children's Chorus:]
The politics of the Rights of Man
Is the sharing of apples with an even hand
TO plant a tree were birds my sit
But who in France will nurture it
Ca Ira (2005)
