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

2. Forward he cried from the rear and the front ranks died
And the General sat, and the lines on the map,
moved from side to side

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

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

5. 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 about

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