Lyric discussion by inpraiseoffolly 

No one seems to have noticed that the lyrics are wrong.

"they can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for a while boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead"

Now read it this way: "they can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles, and ABUSE themselves playing games for a while boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead"

It makes the song so much more powerful. Just think about it. Roger Waters sure knows how to write lyrics. The best song on The Final Cut.
