Us and Them - The Flaming Lips, Henry Rollins

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 post bearer cried

Listen son, said the man with the gun

There’s room for you inside

Down and Out

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

With, without

And who’ll deny that’s what the fighting’s all abouut

Get out of the way, it’s a busy day

and I’ve got things on my mind

For the want of the price of tea and a slice

The old man died
