Divided (Chambers)

Story Behind The Song

Beyond the walls, someone hides from violence

In touch, it seems, with nothing more than isolation

Confirm the truth, this understanding lost to those in power

Who knows just where to begin

And some fall down, pretend to look the other way

As if no one noticed the gaffe, a misdirection

We fall asleep each night in a land divided, divided by idealogues

We wake up to the sunrise the same, to the sunrise the same

And those who speak of this unity, merely want a blank check to carry out elite instructions

And you and I are questioned of our loyalty

Election year, all present achievements

Take credit from the broken backs of those who work

Raise red flags high, distinguishing from opposition

And tell such tales of modern woe

The populace informed in a few soundbytes

As if noone noticed the spin that drives the day

We fall asleep each night in a land divided, divided by idealogues

We wake up to the sunrise the same, to the sunrise the same

And those who speak of this unity, merely want a blank check to carry out elite instructions

And you and I are questioned of our loyalty

We fall asleep each night in a land divided, divided by idealogues

We wake up to the sunrise the same, to the sunrise the same

And those who speak of this unity, merely want a blank check to carry out elite instructions

And you and I are questioned of our loyalty

I'd like to think that this song will someday be out of date. The notion that no matter what your political affiliation is, more and more politicians seem to be playing the games of spinning and negative attacks. It's tough to accept the politics of division. We should be able to do better. In the meantime, though, this song seems pretty accurate.
