Divide And Conquer - Hüsker Dü

Well they divided up all the land

And we’ve got states and cities

Cities have their neighborhoods

And more subdivisions

There’s countries divided by walls

Oceans and latitudes

And longitude, longing to find out

Just what they’re missing

They’re lots of area codes

And nine digit zip codes

Secret decoder ring codes

Arteries, shopping nodes

We’ll invent some new computers

Link up the global village

And get ap, upi, and reuters

To tell everybody the news

We’ll be one happy neighborhood

Spread out across the world

But who’s going to stop that burglar

From breaking in my house

If he lives that far away

We’ll be just like old friends

No means to your ends

The police state is to busy

And the neighborhood’s getting out of hand

It’s not about my politics

Something happened way too quick

A bunch of men who played it sick

They divide, conquer

It’s all here before your eyes

Safety is a big disguise

That hides among the other lies

They divide, conquer

Well i expect i won’t be heard

Because my silence is assured

Never a discouraging word

They divide and conquer

They divide and conquer
