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 that's what the fightings all about 
Get out of the way, it's a busy day 
And I've got things on my mind 
For want of the price of tea and a slice 
The old man died
