It's a tug of war
What with one thing
and another
It's a tug of war
We expected more
But with one thing
and another
We were trying to
outdo each other
In a tug of war
In another world
In another world
we could stand on
top of the mountain
with our flag unfurled
In a time to come
In a time to come
we will be dancing
to the beat played
on a different drum
It's a tug of war
Though I know I
mustn't grumble
It's a tug of war
But I can't let go
If I do you'll take
a tumble and the
whole thing is
gonna crumble
It's a tug of war
In years to come
they may discover
What the air we
breathe and the
life we lead
are all about
But it won't be
soon enough
Soon enough for me
No it won't be
soon enough
Soon enough for me
In another world
we could stand on
top of the mountain
with our flag unfurled
In a time to come
we will be dancing
to the beat played
on a different drum
We will be dancing
to the beat played
on a different drum
We will be dancing
to the beat played
on a different drum
It's a tug of war
What with one thing
and another
It's a tug of war
We expected more
But with one thing
and another
We were trying to
outscore each other
in a tug of war
