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.
Verse 2
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 3
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.
Verse 4
"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."

Verse 5
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?
Verse 6
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.
