We are divided
We are divided.
As a country as a culture
we are divided.
As a country and a culture
standing opposite of each other
we are divided.
Whatever words used to describe us
Compassionate, chill, peaceful
Ill, Irrational, retarded
Whatever adjective we feel like prescribing us
What the hell does it mean,
When we have people getting high, popping pills,
And blaming each other on both sides of the aisle.
We are divided.
There are cracks in the sidewalk and a crowd of police
Drawing outlines in chalk, sounding the sirens of peace.
Witnesses saying "Yup, that filthy neighbor's a creep."
My neighbor, sup neighbor,
Neighbor what, neighbor please,
Every day another neighbor be
Shooting and stealing, stabbing, killing, raping and praising something I don't believe.
This entire neighborhood is full of them.
Fucking neighbors need to leave.
We are divided.
Powerful influences exploit the goodness inside of us,
They're razing our world, and raising a society of masochists.
They've been campaigning this massive war of the classes,
Passing down power as every century passes us.
We're a future in chaos in need of world order,
Controlling the access so we can never afford
Basic rights,
Basic freedoms,
And a basic meaning to living.
Basically we're meant to believe in the spirit of giving.
So we're giving our earnings and hopefully trusting
In the poverty fueling machine it's disgusting.
There's over sixteen digits worth of value in humanity
And I'm born to struggle for my own fried slice of reality.
We are divided.
Not by birth, not by choice.
Not by class, race, gender, politics or wealth.
Rejoice,
for we are divided but not blind,
It's possible that we can see who's behind it.
Just ask,
"Is this really important what's going on over here?
"Or is there maybe an influence hiding out over there?"
We are misguided.
I pray for a day when we no longer need reminding
Of the real hidden evils
Who want to keep us divided.
It's just a matter fact,
We need to spread this message exact,
And understand what it means to believe in 'equality'.
Please.
No more abuse of the system,
Lets take back the keys to our kingdom,
And trust in the goodness that resides here within us.
Stay alive for the children.
