Divide And Conquer

Lyrics for Divide And Conquer

Well, they divided up all the land We've got states and cities Cities have their neighborhoods And more subdivisions There's countries divided by walls Oceans and latitude And longitude, longing to find out Just what they're missing There's lots of area codes And nine digit zip codes Secret decoder ring codes Arteries, shopping nodes We'll invent some new computers Link up the global village And get AP, UPI, Reuters To tell everybody the news We'll be one happy neighborhood Spread out across the world Who's going to stop that burglar From breaking into my house If he lives that far away We'll be just like old friends No means to your ends The police state is too busy And the neighborhood's getting out of hand Big Brother on every wall Muzak plays in all the halls Empires see the rise and fall They divide, conquer It's not about my politics Something happened way too quick Bunch of men who played it sick They divide, conquer It's all here before your eyes Safety is a big disguise That hides among the other lies They divide, conquer Well, I expect I won't be heard 'Cause my silence is assured Never a discouraging word They divide and conquer They divide and conquer
