The album was inspired by the [[Neil Postman]] novel [[Amusing Ourselfs To Death]]. The album explores how people come to watch a lot of TV and how we are sucked into the mass media. It goes on to critisize the First Gulf War ("The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range" and "Perfect Sense"). It also talks about the protests for democracy in China in Tienamin Square ("Watching TV").

The [[BBC]] would not air the first single of the album, "What God Wants, Part I" because of it's "touchy" lyrics. Waters was outraged. The song "What God Wants" is a song that deals with what Waters claims to be the hypocracy of a dogmatic religion, when dealing with things such as materialism and war. He explains the religion as not having people come volunterally, but rather, due to submission. This song is also very confusing due to it's wording, with the subject of it's real topic up for interpritation.
