Divide & Conquer

Divide & Conquer

They say I’m supposed to hate you
Just because I never knew you
And the place where you come from
And the feelings that you feel

I can’t relate to your beliefs
And the things your elders preach
And your idea of right or wrong
This confusion that I see

Separate, separate
Fill them all with fear and hate
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down

Suffocate, manipulate
Orchestrate how they behave
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down

All this madness, born of fears
From the last two thousand years
This illusion they create
From the man made lies they teach

I see humanity exploding
And our liberty eroding
This division that we crave
This confusion that I see

Separate, separate
Fill them all with fear and hate
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down

Suffocate, manipulate
Orchestrate how they behave
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down

Striving for a better life
With violence, death and suicide
And sworn defiance to a cause
And sworn allegiance to a flag

Brainwashed soldiers march with pride
To commit their homicide
Desecrating foreign shores
To come home in a body bag

Separate, separate
Fill them all with fear and hate
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down

Suffocate, manipulate
Orchestrate how they behave
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down
