Us and Them Lyrics


Us and them

Divide the children

Feed the beast

Be released

As your subconscious mind

is still undefined

Divided by our teachers’ hand

Who drew new lines in the sand

Confined, confused by changing rules

Though not to question but obey

All we know – how to be ruled

Conform in the face of authority

Pride, prejudice, conformity

Hate, prejudice, conformity

Identities, battered and broken

The elders have spoken - All feeling is lost

Blame, shared on our shoulders

Then shrugged off and left in the dust

The presence, the essence of hierarchy - comforting, warm and secure

Their actions were justified as they preyed on the weak as never before

Us and them

Divide the children

Feed the beast

Be released
