Pink Floyd - Us & Them lyrics

Us, and them

And after all we're only ordinary men.

Me, and you.

God only knows it's 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 it's only 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.

I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short,

Sharp, shock, they won't do it again. dig it? I mean he get off

Lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!

It was only a difference of opinion, but really...i mean good manners

Don't cost nothing do they, eh?

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 the want of the price of tea and a slice

The old man died.
