Us And Them

Music: Richard Wright, Roger waters
Text: Roger Waters
Vocal: David Gilmour, Richard Wright

About Song:
Оригинальная мелодия «Us and them» была написана Райтом еще во время работы «Пинк Флойд» над музыкой для кинофильма «Забриски Поинт», однако была отвергнута режиссером ленты Микеланджело Антониони как «слишком грустная». Основной темой песни является взаимоотношение людей друг с другом. Их конфликты и противостояния. Уотерс делает вывод, что все мы, при прочих равных, всего лишь обычные люди.

Lyric:
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 generals 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.
