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
\"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\"
(They're maybe gonna kill ya. So like, if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock, they don't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off light, come to think. …of rationalizing it, once. It's only a difference, but why go and ruin it? I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?)
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
