Us and Them

1. 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

2. Forward he cried from the rear and the front ranks died

And the General sat, and the lines on the map,

moved from side to side

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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 fighting's all about

6. 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
