Us And Them (2023 EG Mix)

[Intro: Organ]

[Verse 1: David Gilmour]
Us (Us, us, us, us, us) and them (Them, them, them, them)
And after all, we're only ordinary men
Me (Me, me, me, me, me) and you (You, you, you, you, you)
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

[Chorus: David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Roger Waters]
“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: David Gilmour]
Black (Black, black, black, black) and blue (Blue, blue, blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up (Up, up, up, up, up) and down (Down, down, down, down)
And in the end it's only round and round, and round

[Chorus: David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Roger Waters]
“Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?”
Thе poster bearer criеd
“Listen, son,” said the man with the gun
“There's room for you inside”

[Interlude/Piano Solo]
I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So like, if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won't do it again
Dig it? I mean, he got off lightly
'Cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of right and wrong, innit?
But really, I mean good manners don't cost, nothing do they, eh?

[Saxophone Solo]

[2nd Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3: David Gilmour]
Down (Down, down, down, down) and out (Out, out, out, out)
It can't be helped, but there's a lot of it about
With (With, with, with, with), without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?

[Chorus: David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Roger Waters]
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 (Died, died, died, died)
