Us and Them versuri

Versuri Pink Floyd – Us and Them lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
„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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
„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”

[Interlude]
„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’
I only hit him once!
It’s only a difference in right and wrong, innit?
I mean good manners don’t cost nothin’, do they, eh?”

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus 3]
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
