"Us v Them" is the sixth track off LCD Soundsystem's 2007 LP "Sound of Silver". There are many interpretations of this track, the most popular being that it is a commentary on being famous in the music industry - it starts with people anticipating the band's next record ("The time has come, the time has come"). Around the bridge, James wishes that he could shut out all the fame ("Cloud, block out the sun"), wishing that people would know him as a person, not as a music personality ("Please anyone, talk to me").
