Us Against Them

作词 : Todd Michael Long/John Patrick Merchant
作曲 : Todd Michael Long/John Patrick Merchant
Turned 18 and her only dream was make a brand new start
Left her little brother with her record collection left her mama with a broken heart
Mama cried, daddy rolled his eyes said she ain't gonna be gone long
As she walked out the door she knew for sure she was gonna prove her daddy wrong

Saved her tips and her overtime she told Bennie baby let’s just drive

Point this thing East or point this thing West I don't really care just get me out of this mess
I'm gonna look back once and never again
From here on out it’s us against them

Just 22 and one thing he knew this girl wasn't like the rest
He'd been around a time or two but she was gonna put him to the test
Drove all night until daylight burned through the city street
He woke her up saying Kathy guess what welcome to NYC

She dances tables on the lower Eastside swallows her pills and she swallows her pride and tells Bennie
Lived in fear and I've lived in doubt had it all and gone without
Been cast aside and been condemned
Now it's only you and I, it’s us against them

Bennie got word on a Thursday night
Down at the club someone crossed a line

Bennie came in with a look in eyes
He wasn't leaving til he set things right he says Kathy

You've broke and you've been abused
Been mistreated and you've been used
But tonight’s the night it's finally gonna end
Tonight we win it's us against them
