Pink Floyd 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.

[Roger "the Hat" Manifold, spoken:]
"I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so like, if you give em a quick short, sharp, shock, they wont do it again.
Dig it? I mean he got off lightly, cos I wouldve 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 fightings 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.
