We are so grateful and happy to contribute something positive at this time. On our home planet of Issia, all people are equal - which is reflected in this anti-prejudice classic Pink Floyd tune.
lyrics
Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're only ordinary men
Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end it's only round 'n round (round, round, round)
Down (down, down, down, down)
And out (out, out, out, out)
It can't be helped that there's a lot of it about
With (with, with, with), without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
"Listen son", said the man with the gun
Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're only ordinary men
Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
Who knows which is which and who is who is who
