[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
"Forward!" he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
The general sat, and the lines on the map
Moved side to side
[Verse 2]
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, and round
[Chorus]
"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"
[Bridge]
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 got 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, right where we're supposed to be
Just like it's always been
