Us & Them...?

March on The Pentagon, Washington D.C.
March 17th, 2007

BlancheNoE and I break on through to the other side at the Peace March on the Pentagon...or rather, more... we stumble into it.

I suggest watching BlancheNoE's version of this with sound- very intense.

US AND THEM by Pink Floyd

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.
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 gonna kill ya, so if you give em a quick short,
Sharp, shock, they won't do it again. dig it? I mean he gets off
Lightly, cos 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 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 the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.

Saw both versions... (Once I figured out where to find BlancheNoE 8>)Powerful, either way... The song is perfect, and the "realtime sound" on hers more than a little scary.

Thanks for posting this...

[U2bianSynic]

I keep posting Blanche's channel here, but maybe YouTube doesn't allow links in these comments. Glad you found it though.

Excellent! Very powerful!

[U2bianSynic]

wow. Thanks!

[U2bianSynic]

lol. Thanks for the time and energy it took for you respond so thoroughly!

Much appreciated. Forgot what I put in the text. :-)

Of course, I also just realised that the only way to know there *IS* a vid with live sound is by reading that expanded explanation... You know, where the link is... 8>)

The answer is obvious.

Your vid is so good it affects the short term memory of it's viewers.

[repsac3]

Yes, that's exactly what it is...

But you do have the link posted... Just to the right of the vid screen, where the subscribe button is... It's there, as long as the viewer hits the "more" link for the expanded vid explanation. (Unfortunately, most of us just assume she's a tuber, & hit the blanchenoe tag, which doesn't get you there... 8>)
