Pink Floyd – Us And Them

Us (Us, us, us, us, us) and them (Them, them, them, them)
And after all, we’re only ordinary men

Me (Me, me, me, me, me) and you (You, you, you, you, you)
God only knows it’s not what we would choose to do (To do, to do, to do)

“Forward!” he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
The general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side

Black (Black, black, black, black) and blue (Blue, blue, blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who (Is who, is who, is who, is who)

Up (Up, up, up, up, up) and down (Down, down, down, down)
And in the end it’s only round and round (round, round, round), and round (round, round, round, 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”

I mean, they’re not gonna kill ya
So like, if you give ’em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won’t do it again
Dig it? I mean, he got off lightly
‘Cause I would’ve given him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of right and wrong, innit?
But really, I mean good manners don’t cost nothing, do they, eh?

Down (Down, down, down, down) and out (Out, out, out, out)
It can’t be helped, but there’s a lot of it about

With (With, with, with, with), without
And who’ll deny it’s what the fighting’s all about? (About, about, about, about?)

Out of the way, it’s a busy day
I’ve got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
