Roger Waters in a critical song "Have a cigar" by Pink Floyd :
Come in here dear boy have a cigar you're gonna go far,
You're gonna fly high, you're never gonna die,
You're gonna make it if you try, they're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincerely,
The band is just fantastic that is really what I think,
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it "Riding the gravy train".
