You and me against the world that's how it used to be

We only had a dollar left between us after I had paid the preacher ten

We started out with nothing but a blue sky up above

But we couldn't see the problems for the love

You and me against the world that's how it used to be

Now it all lies buried underneath prosperity

What happened to that simple life that happy boy and girl

When it was only you and me against the world

What a sin success has been for you and me

It's crowded out the only thing worthwhile

Now there's nothing left between us but a tie that doesn't bind

And a hunger for the love we left behind

You and me against the world...
