Divide

In the silence I saw state violence Raising my hand in a fist to the fist of the tyrant Now I want it all My back against the wall And I ain't gonna wait no more Cos you're a liar You preach to the choir We're dancing in our chains in the flames of the fire Now you're out of time The fear's in your eyes And I'm lost in the lines in the lines in the lines that divide That divide Lost in the lines in the lines in the lines that divide I'm coughing up blood On the crisp white sheets of a welfare cut Trying my luck but the ink won't smudge So I stick two fingers up Shouting out that "enough is enough" Cos you're a liar You preach to the choir We're dancing in our chains in the flames of the fire Now you're out of time The fear's in your eyes And I'm lost in the lines in the lines in the lines that divide That divide Lost in the lines in the lines in the lines that divide That divide That divide Lost in the lines in the lines in the lines that divide From profit and poverty, sin and dependency Murderous policy and social inequality Suffocate austerity, a never ending elegy Lying through your teeth When you pretend you never see The suffering and starving Death in profit margins Broken dreams, blood we bleed The empty space caught in between The violence Blood stained silence Who is it that you protect scapegoating the oppressed Cos you're a liar You preach to the choir We're dancing in our chains in the flames of the fire Now you're out of time The fear's in your eyes And I'm lost in the lines in the lines in the lines that divide That divide That divide That divide That divide Lost in the lines in the lines in the lines that divide
