Amused to death or is death amused?

Well I have started listening to solo works of Roger Waters and David Gilmour and they are brilliant. One that stands out the most however is Roger Waters' Amused to Death. It's them is one that should be heeded. We are creating a world in which entertainment and laziness are hand in hand and rule our lives. We wake up to an alarm clock, a device we made to wake up when we want to. We shower with music to entertain us. We eat breakfast in front of the T.V to entertain us. We have the radio on when we drive to entertain us. We have breaks at work cos we get bored without entertainment. We come home and sit down and eat and watch the T.V for the rest of the night to entertain us and then we go to bed where some would be entertained before falling asleep, whether it be sex or an iPod. The whole album appears to me to be outlining that in today's world we are entertaining and amusing ourselves 'til the day we die. Hence the phrase amused to death. We are just wasting our lives in front of the T.V or we are in front of the computer or we are listening to music. We are just wasting away in front of creations that were originally for a purpose. the T.V was made to spread news of the Vietnam war to all across the U.S and other countries. The computer was there to make important calculations faster and evolved into word processors and spreadsheets all of which are needed for work. And music used to deliver important messages and used to talk to people through melodies. These days the T.V is used to host our favourite shows, the computer is game made and music is all about sex and video clips with women in the background. We are just sucked in by this way of life. There are other discourses in the album. For example the three parts of What God Wants shows the irony of the christian beliefs. It is saying well if the priest says we need money for the house of God then they are really saying God wants you to make donations. The Catholic church says don't contraceptive the work of god when you have sex. This must mean God wants sex. It's a miracle points out that somethings just won't happen anymore in today's society. It has steadily grown cold. Too much rope is by far my favourite and is so so so true. If any one spices has too much rope they will fuck it up. So true. Humanity has had too much chance and has screwed up Earth because of it. It is a very emotional album and is a must hear before you die!
