Us & Them Lyrics

Us & Them

Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only
knows it's not 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
And in the end it's only round and round
and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer
cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you
inside

Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it
about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all
about
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For
want of the price of a tea and a slice
The old man died
