Divide
by: AudiowebDivide is so wide
I've got a ........................ inside
The deeper we hide
The more we lose control of our life
One ........ for you
Nineteen for me
You know it's not right
The wall between us
And the system never be over
Chorus:
Divide is so wide (x3)
The longer we stand
The longer we all stand alone
The higher we climb
The more we all deny
Do you believe in what you see
We know it's not right
The welfare state means nothing at all
It's over, it's over, over
United we stand
Divided we fall
........... well to be there
.......................
Chorus
So what's your solution?
Revolution
The only solution
Revolution
It's time for .........
I really wanna know
What you're gonna do (x2)
