More than Enough Rope

I've been listening to Roger Waters' Amused to Death album tonight and the following verse stood out for me. I think it speaks for itself:

You don't have to be a Jew
To disapprove of murder
Tears burn my eyes
Moslem or Christian, Mullah or Pope
Preacher or poet, who was it wrote
Give any one species too much rope
And they'll fuck it up...
