Them & Us Lyrics - Don Henley

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
