Us and them
ย
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me and you
ย
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
ย
Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died
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's who
ย
Up and down
ย
But in the end it's only round and 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 you
So 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 opinion
But really
I mean good manners don't cost nothing
Do they, huh?
ย
Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
ย
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about
ย
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
ย
