Us and Them Lyrics

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
And I've got things on my mind
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
