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...
