It's a dog 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
You'll be dancing to the beat,
played on a different drum
It's a tug of war
Though I know I mustn't crumble,
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
Push it, push it, pull it
Pull it, push it, pull it
In years to come
They may discover
What the air we breathe
and the life we lead
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 above 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
laid 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 tryin' to outscore each other
in a tug of war
Pushin', pushin', pullin', pullin',
pushin', pullin'
You
