Pink Floyd - Us and Them

Us and Them

Us, and them
And after all were only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows its noz what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
moved from side to side.
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end its only round and round.
Havent you heard its a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There is room for you inside.
"I mean, theyre not gunna ki will ya, so if you gi have em a quick short,
sharp, shock, they wont do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off
lightly, cos I wouldve given hima thrashing - I only hit himonce
It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners
dont cost nothing do they, eh?"
Down and out
It can not be helped but there is a lot of it about.
With, without.
And wholl deny its what the fightings all about?
Out of the way, its a busy day
I have got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.
