Us and Them - Joseph William Morgan

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

Down and out

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

With, without

And who’ll deny it’s what the fighting’s all about

«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»

Us and them
