Déjà Vu Lyrics - Roger Waters

If I had been God 

I would have rearranged the veins in the face to make them more resistant to alcohol and less prone to ageing 

If I had been God 

I would have sired many sons and I would not have suffered the Romans to kill even one of them 

If I had been God 

With my staff and my rod 

If I had been given the nod 

I believe I could have done a better job 

If I were a drone 

Patrolling foreign skies 

With my electronic eyes for guidance 

And the element of surprise 

I would be afraid to find someone home 

Maybe a woman at a stove 

Baking bread, making rice, or just boiling down some bones 

If I were a drone 

The temple's in ruins 

The bankers get fat 

The buffalo's gone 

And the mountain top's flat 

The trout in the streams are all hermaphrodites 

You lean to the left but you walk to the right 

And it feels like déjà vu 

The sun goes down and I'm still missing you 

Counting the cost of love that got lost 

And under my Gulf Stream, in circular balls 

There's ninety-nine cents worth of drunkards and fools
