Us and Them (2019 Remix) [Live]

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

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 tea and a slice

The old man died
