Pink Floyd - Us And Them

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”

I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So like, if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won't do it again
Dig it? I mean, he got off lightly
'Cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of right and wrong, innit?
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 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
