Pink Floyd - Us And Them

40

And after all we're only ordinary men

God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

"Forward!" he cried

And the front rank died

And the general sat

And the lines on the map

Moved from side to side

And who knows which is which and who is who?

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.

Said the man with the gun,

"There's room for you inside."

"Well, I mean, they're gonna kill ya, so like, if you give 'em a quick sh…short, sharp shock, they don't do it again.

Dig it? I mean he got off light, 'cause I could've given him a thrashin' but I only hit him once.

It's only the difference between right and wrong, innit? I mean good manners don't cost nothing, do they? Eh?"

It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about

And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?

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
