Don Henley › Lyrics › Them and Us

One finger on the button, one finger up his nose
Johnny's in some cornfield, the early warning blows
Bigger is better and more is more
Look up, America, gonna even up the score

Get ready boys, third times a charm
Don't need no sweater, it's gonna keep you warm
If we can't have the ball
There won't be any winner this time

Them and us, them and us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

In forty-five minutes
It'll all be done
We'll all be good and crispy
But we'll still be number one

And if things go from bad to worse
We can still kill them if they kill us first
If we can't have the ball
There won't be any winner this time

Oh, hell-bent, heaven sent
It all got started by an accident
If we can't have the ball
There won't be any winner this time

Them and us, them and us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Them and us, it's them or us
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

It's all over and nothing left to say
Tell me, what was the question anyway
Them and us, it's them or us
