Hey You - Pink Floyd
Album: The Wall
genre: Hard Rock Progressive Rock
Hey, you! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me
Hey, you! Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
Hey, you! don’t help them to bury the light
Don’t give in without a fight.
Hey, you! out there on your own
sitting naked by the phone would you touch me
Hey you ! with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me
Hey you ! would you help me to carry the stone
Open your heart, I’m coming home
But it was only a fantasy
The wall was too high as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey, you! out there on the road
Always doing what you’re told, can you help me
Hey, you! out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
Hey, you! don’t tell me there’s no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.
