[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
(Pushin' and pushin', pullin' and pullin'
Pushin' and pullin')
[Bridge]
In years to come they may discover
What the air wе breathe and the lifе 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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' and pushin'
Pullin' and pullin'
Pushin' and pullin')
