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 going to crumble

It's a tug of war Pushin', pushin', pullin', pullin'

Pushin', pullin' 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 for me)

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

(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 Pushin', pushin' pullin', pullin'

Pushin', pullin'
