Us and Them by Pink Floyd

Perfect song for today. "And the lines on the map, Moved from side to side..."

Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're only ordinary men

Me
And you (you, you, you)
God only knows
It's not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)

Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side

Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who

Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end it's only round 'n round (round, round, 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

"I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won't do it again. Dig it?
I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

Down (down, down, down, down)
And out (out, out, out, out)
It can't be helped that there's a lot of it about

With (with, with, 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 the want of the price
Of tea and a slice
The old man died
