We're All Serving Time
There's no them and us
We're all much the same
Let's just stop the fuss, it's the new ball-game
There's no here and there
We're all on the spot
Let's just stop the scare, it's the new slingshot
There's no this and that
We're all part of one
Let's just stop the spat, it's the new home-run
There's no now and then
We're all serving time
Let's just stop the yen, it's the new sublime
There's no when and where
We're all present now
Let's just stop the snare, it's the new know-how
