Purpose of use

To illustrate the article. The song epitomises Waters' frustration with the ever-present threat of war. The lyric "What happened to the post-war dream?" relates strongly to the death of Waters' father in World War II, who Waters supposes died so that his descendants would not have to suffer the agony of war. As the introductory song, it sets the tone for the rest of the album, and is probably the best illustration of the type of music used throughout the album. The album is angst-ridden, dominated by Waters lyrics, and very different to most of Pink Floyd's discography.

Replaceable?
