Lyrics
[verse]
Us and them
And nobody's really asking why
Line drawn thin
Between the reasons and the lie
God only knows it's not the way it should have been
[verse]
Forward march
The banners rise on either side
Same blue sky
Divided by our foolish pride
And in the end it's just a man against a man
[chorus]
Us and them
Standing on the same uncertain ground
Us and them
And the wall goes up and down again
[verse]
Black and white
The papers frame it as a game
Trace the line
Nobody wants to take the blame
And in the quiet, someone's mother waits at home
[chorus]
Us and them
Standing on the same uncertain ground
Us and them
And the wall goes up and down again
[bridge]
Down in the haze where the smoke won't clear
Someone is asking, "why are we here?"
Cut through the noise, tear off the mask
There's just one family, one and the same
[chorus]
Us and them
Standing on the same uncertain ground
Us and them
And the wall goes up and down again
