Divide And Conquer

Well they divided up all the land
And weve got states and cities
Cities have their neighborhoods
And more subdivisions

Theres countries divided by walls
Oceans and latitudes
And longitude, longing to find out
Just what theyre missing

Theyre lots of area codes
And nine digit zip codes
Secret decoder ring codes
Arteries, shopping nodes

Well invent some new computers
Link up the global village
And get ap, upi, and reuters
To tell everybody the news

Well be one happy neighborhood
Spread out across the world
But whos going to stop that burglar
From breaking in my house
If he lives that far away

Well be just like old friends
No means to your ends
The police state is to busy
And the neighborhoods getting out of hand

Its not about my politics
Something happened way too quick
A bunch of men who played it sick
They divide, conquer

Its all here before your eyes
Safety is a big disguise
That hides among the other lies
They divide, conquer

Well I expect I wont be heard
Because my silence is assured
Never a discouraging word
They divide and conquer

They divide and conquer
