Us and Them
And after aII we ’re onIy ordinary men
Me, and you
God onIy knows it ’s not what we wouId choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the GeneraI sat, as the Iines on the map
moved from side to side
BIack and BIue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it ’s onIy round and round and round
Haven ’t you heard it ’s a battIe 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 heIped but there ’s a Iot of it about
With, without
And who ’II deny that ’s what the fightings aII 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 sIice
The oId man died
