Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Us
And them
And after all we're only ordinary men
[Verse 2]
Me
And you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
[Bridge]
"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
[Verse 3]
Black
And blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
[Verse 4]
Up
And down
And in the end it's only round and round and round and round
[Bridge]
"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"
[Verse 5]
Down
And out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
[Verse 6]
With
Without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about
[Bridge]
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
