them and us - chuck brodsky lyrics
there’s a standoff all across the great divide
with friends and family members on both sides
if someone struck a match it would combust
scorching everyone, both them and us
it’s raining dirty words and disrespect
it’s not having any positive effect
the bridges have collapsed because of rust
we can’t reach each other, them and us
we’ve got our earplugs in and our blinders on
and we wonder where have all the flowers gone
where once there was a garden cool and lush
all that’s left here now is them and us
chorus: and i’ve never felt so lonely in this world
as i do when all the banners are unfurled
and the airwaves are just spewing all that stuff
about us and them, look what it’s done to us
our differences are few but overblown
and it sometimes leads to punches being thrown
there seems to be a few things to discuss
but you can’t say a word to them or us
we write them off because of how they vote
we write them off ‘cause they came on a boat
we turn our backs with contempt and with disgust
at every one of them who isn’t us
we identify them by the clothes they wear
we identify them by their skin and hair
and we look for any reason not to trust
whatever about them is not like us
chorus: and i’ve never felt so lonely in this world
as i do when all the banners are unfurled
and the airwaves are just spewing all that stuff
about us and them, look what it’s done to us
thoughtful, decent people turning mean
if only all our gods could intervene
there must be some controls they could adjust
maybe they could make us whole, them and us
chorus: and i’ve never felt so lonely in this world
as i do when all the banners are unfurled
and the airwaves are just spewing all that stuff
about us and them, look what it’s done to us
there’s a standoff all across the great divide
