The Divide Lyrics

They'll tell you what you want to hear

Keep you wrapped in a world of fear

But as your mind drifts and thinks on its own

The tighter they constrict your zone

So find something you enjoy

Let it fill your cup

But please don't take it for granted

It's your only escape

I'm sorry

I don't wanna be an emperor

That's not my business

I don't want to rule or concur anyone

I should like to help everyone if possible

Jew, gentile, black man, white

We all want to help one another

Human beings are like that

We want to live by each other's happiness

Not by each other's misery

We don't want to hate and despise one another

This world has room for everyone

And the good earth is rich

And can provide for everyone

A way of life can be free and beautiful

But we have lost the way

Greed has poisoned mens souls

It has barricaded the world with hate

Has goose stepped us into misery and bloodshed

We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in

Machinery that gives us abundance has left us in want

Our knowledge has made us cynical

Our cleverness hard and unkind

We think too much and feel too little

More than machinery

We need humanity

More than cleverness

We need kindness and gentleness

Without these qualities life would be violent

And all will be lost
