Tug of War lyrics

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

(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 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

(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)
