Roger waters was raised as a socicalist so te first part of this song is about the "evil" capitalist people who will do anything to get to the top. the second verse is about the current British Prime minister Margret Thatcher. the final verse is about a british advocate for music censorship named Mary Whitehouse who always seemed to pick on the Pink Floyd for there 60's ideals of free love and drugs. I think this song is great it's got a great harder rock feel while still keeping that pink floyd sound

@azreal Definitely not about Thatcher as she hadn't taken office yet.
