The Post War Dream -- Pink Floyd

Tell me true tell me why was Jesus crucified  is it for this that daddy died?
was it you? was it me?  did I watch too much t.v. Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes
if it wasn't for the nips  being so good at building ships the yards would still be open
on the clyde and it can't be much fun for them  beneath the rising sun
with all their kids committing suicide  what have we done maggie what have we done
what have we done to England  should we shout should we scream
"what happened to the post war dream?   Maggie Maggie what did we do?

The album was dedicated to Roger Waters' father, Eric Fletcher Waters, who died in WW2 at the battle of the Anzio bridge.  Anzio was a beach on the coast of Italy stormed mainly by the British  "Maggie" is Margaret Thatcher, who was the prime minister when the song was written  "Tell me true, tell me why was Jesus crucified" was just Waters searching for some justification for his father being taken from him                     (songfacts)
