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
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 poster 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
It's what the fighting's all about?
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
