Waters has always had a strong anti war streak in his songs, going back as far as to 1968 with Corporal Clegg. Us And Them is an anti war song and since 1979s The Wall, every album has been filled with strong political themes. It goes without saying that when going to a Roger Waters show that you will get political messages in the lyrics and in the visuals, as he uses background film throughout the show.
If you went to see The Clash among many other acts, it goes without saying that you would be subjected to a lot of political messages, The same applies with Waters.
