Divided We Will Fall

It's Friday night down somewhere

The whole nation is taking a train

In a field of haunted faces

Through the weeds of worry and pain

By day we dig the ditches

By night we stack the books

Scratch at the same old common itch

Stare at the same old looks

Divided we will fall

Divided we will fall

We hold on to our headlines

Full of lies and twisted tales

Tonight, in some bar somewhere

We'll recall how everything fails

But each of us love our children

And our husbands and our wives

And like it or not we're moving along

In and out of everyman's lives

Divided we will fall

Divided we will fall

It's Monday morning somewhere

We're all over the station like flies

We move too fast to focus

Or look in another man's eyes

We see our brother in there

Our sister looking back

In the heart of a nation beating along

With the feet of a nation off-track

Divided we will fall

Divided we will fall

Divided we will fall

Divided we will fall

The governments they will rise up

Governments they will fall

But the view is always clearer

When you're standing on the top of a wall

Those of us who took the train

Will bear out the coming storm

Together we all take the strain

Divided, divided we will fall
