Song lyrics
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
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
And 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

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 want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

Haunting as only Pink Floyd can do.

Other bands were vehemently anti-war.
Loud about it.

PF made their point in a calm, chilling manor.

Timeless.

Perfection. Just listened to it on delicate sound of thunder and it just blows your mind. Like all good songs it still applies today. Only if you replace tea and slice with oil but meh, close enough.
