Pink Floyd - "Us And Them"

Pink Floyd "Us And Them" album "The Dark Side Of The Moon" 1973


Us, and them
And after all were 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.
And the general 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.
But 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.

I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give em a quick short,
Sharp, shock, they wont do it again. dig it? I mean he get off
Lightly, cos I wouldve 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 and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about.
With, without.
And wholl deny it's what the fightings all about?
Out of the way, it's a busy day
Ive got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.

That's funny, for me I think fondly of all the dope I smoked to Floyd! The 70's era for me was fun and exciting and would not trade any moment of it. I am now in my 50's, and truly miss my youth with Floyd.

Been listening to PF for over 40 years. Back then, weed and Floyd were complementary entities. Now, weed is a distant memory, so I can really appreciate the beauty and excellence of their music.
