Lyrics:

Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're all just 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
The general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved 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

[Talking: No one’s ever been to the surface, it’s just too dangerous
Last time any angel ever tried that it just brought war and violence.
Those men are just born evil beasts.
You ever seen one? They say they ride huge monsters and have hands that shoot fire and kill anything in sight.
Listen, don’t even think about it. They’re fine up there and we’re fine down here minding our own business, just like it’s always been.]
