The Great Divide

The Gun Club were an American post-punk band from Los Angeles that existed from 1979 to 1996. Created and led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Jeffrey Lee Pierce, they were notable as one of the first bands in the punk rock subculture to incorporate influences from blues, rockabilly, and country music. The Gun Club has been called a "tribal psychobilly blues" band, as well as initiators of the punk blues sound cowpunk – "He (Pierce) took Robert Johnson and pre-war acoustic blues and 'punkified' it. Up until then bands were drawing on Iggy & The Stooges and the New York Dolls but he took it back so much further for inspiration." more »

I saw you

talking 'bout plagues and peoples

you're on override

you are lost on the Great Divide

You see

that you're preaching old ideas

that when worlds collide

you are lost in the Great Divide now

and homeless in the street

make you feel the freak

and your future looks so bleak

your ideal world

becomes antique

Now, you're lost and you say

standing, say we're equal

but, the valley's wide

and you are lost on the Great Divide

On the Great Divide

on the Great Divide

on the Great Divide

on the Great Divide now
