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 out do 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 going to crumble, it's a tug of war

Pushing pushing, pulling pulling
Pushing and pulling

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)
Soon enough for me
No, it won't be soon enough (It won't be soon enough)
Soon enough for me

In another world
We couid 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 (a tug of war, 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

Pushing pushing, pulling pulling
Pushing and pulling
