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
