Don Henley penned this song and recorded it back in 1982 on "I Can't Stand Stand Still" album.
Seeing as I just saw the Eagles in concert recently, I dug out all my old Don Henley tunes and was amazed to hear this one again.
Twenty years later, not much has changed.

"Them and Us"
copyrighted Don Henley 1982

One finger on the button
One finger up his nose
Johnny's in some cornfield
When early warning blows.
Bigger is better
And more is more
Lookout America!
Gonna even out the score
If we can't have the balll
There won't be any winner this time
Them and us
Them and us
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
In 45 minutes
It will all be done
We'll all be good and crispy
But we'll still be #1
Everything's going 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
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
Dust to dust
It's all over
Nothing left to save
Tell me
What was the question anyway?
