“Waiting for the Worms“ (working title “Follow the Worms“) is a song from the 1979 Pink Floyd album The Wall. It is preceded by “Run Like Hell“ and followed by “Stop“. At this point in the album, protagonist Pink has lost hope (“You cannot reach me now“) and his thinking has decayed, bringing to mind the “worms“. In his hallucination, he is a fascist dictator, fomenting racist outrage and violence, as begun in the preceding song, “Run Like Hell“. The count-in is Eins, zwei, drei, alle —German for “one, two, three, everybody“. In the beginning and end the crowd chants, “Hammer“, a recurring representation of fascism and violence in The Wall. The imagery features a live action segment with some teenagers (the same ones from “In the Flesh?“) trampling over a rag doll replica of Pink. He then shouts through a megaphone while his followers march through the street. Following the images of the fascist crowd, the screaming face and the fascist bashing a man's skull from “What Shall We Do Now?“, a dog biting meat off a hook then consumed by a larger one (from the Animals tour), and the famous goose-stepping hammer sequence, we see Pink yell “Stop“.
