Perfect sense pt. 1 & 2 English / Английский язык

The monkey sat on a pile of stone And he stared at the broken bone in his hand Strains of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land The monkey looked up at the stars And he thought to himself Memory is a stranger History is for fools And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town Hold on hold on soldier When you add it all up The tears and the marrowbone There’s an ounce of gold And an ounce of pride in each ledger And the Germans kill the Jews And the Jews kill the Arabs And the Arabs kill the hostages And that is the news And is it any wonder that the monkey’s confused He said Mama Mama, the President’s a fool Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals And the joint chiefs of staff And the brokers on Wall Street said Don’t make us laugh, you’re a smart kid Time is linear Memory’s a stranger History is for fools Man is a tool in the hands Of the great God Almighty And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine Sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden Can’t you see It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents Pounds, shillings and pence Can’t you see It all makes perfect sense Little black soul departs in perfect focus Hold on soldier Prime time fodder for the News at Nine Hold on, hold on soldier Darling is the child warm in the bed tonight [Marv Albert:] “Hi everybody I’m Marv Albert And welcome to our telecast Coming to you live from Memorial Stadium It’s a beautiful day And today we expect a sensational matchup But first our global anthem” Can’t you see It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents Pounds, shillings and pence Can’t you see It all makes perfect sense [Marv:] “And here come the players As I speak to you now, the captain Has his cross hairs zeroed in on the oil rig He’s at periscope depth It looks to me like he’s going to attack By the way did you know that a submarine Captain earns 200,000 dollars a year” [Edward:]”That’s less tax Marv” [Marv:]”Yeah, less tax, thank you Edward” [Edward:]”You’re welcome” [Marv:]”Now back to the game...he fires one...yes There goes two; both fish are running The rig is going into a prevent defense Will they make it? I don’t think so” Look out! Look at that baby burn! Can’t you see It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents Pounds, shillings and pence Can’t you see It all makes perfect sense Can’t you see It all makes perfect sense
