The album was inspired by the [[Neil Postman]] book ''[[Amusing Ourselves 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 criticize 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 Tienanmen Square ("Watching TV").

'''"What God Wants"''' is a song on the [[Roger Waters]] album ''[[Amused To Death]]''. This song criticizes the church for being a hypocrisy. It is split up into three parts, making the total time of the song to be 13 minutes and 48 seconds.

The [[BBC]] would not air the first single of the album, "What God Wants, Part I", because of its "touchy" lyrics. Waters was outraged.

This part of the song appears second on the album, after "The Ballard Of Bill Hubbard" and before "[[Perfect Sense]], Part I". This part tells us that the media has an effect on the person to the extent that the media choses what happens, even if that person does not agree. Roger Waters said about the first Gulf conflict, "I'm very upset by religious dogma, I get angry, gobsmacked in fact when I hear George Bush saying that God was on their side during the Gulf war. It's amazing that in 1992, one of the most powerful men in the world can reduce political rhetoric to that level. But that's what he has to do, to get votes and maintain power and then use that power to help the American automobile industry."  This song says that we as human beings do not care about that and just live with it.

This part of the song is the ninth song on the album, after "Too Much Rope" and before "What God Wants, Part III". This part, much like the first part, tells us that although God wants good, God also wants bad in the world. The song begins by hearing an evangelical priest preaching on television. The priest says the following:

This is the final part of "What God Wants". It is the tenth song on the album, after "What God Wants, Part II" and before "Watching TV". This song has hope that someday, we (the human race) will be able to escape the influence of the media. It says towards the being of the song, <br />
