THE GREAT AMERICAN DIVIDE

VERSE    GOT SOME SHALLOW MINDS IN THE DEEP SOUTH
		PULLING THE PEOPLE DOWN
		GOT HATRED SPEWING FROM SOME NORTHERN MOUTHS
		PUSHING EACH OTHER AROUND
		IT'S A STATE OF MIND NOT THE STATE WHERE YOU LIVE
		THAT MAKES YOU MISTRUST ANOTHER FOR THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN
		JUST ASK THE MOTHERS OF THE YOUNG AND THE DEAD
		UNDERNEATH THE SKIN WE ALL BLEED RED

CH		HEY IT'S TIME WE STOOD UP AND RANG THE LIBERTY BELL 
		FOR A NATION DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF
		FROM BORDER TO BORDER COAST TO COAST
		COMPASSION FOR EACH OTHER'S WHAT WE NEED MOST
		POINT YOUR FINGER AT THE OTHER POINT OF VIEW
		AND YOU'LL FIND THREE MORE POINTING BACK AT YOU
		HISPANIC ORIENTAL RED BLACK AND WHITE
		WE'RE ALL TO BLAME FOR THE GREAT AMERICAN DIVIDE

VERSE	GOT TERROR ON THE EVENING NEWS
		A RISING BODY COUNT
		GUNS AND BOMBS EXPRESS THE VIEWS 
		OF THE INSANE UNDERGROUND
		THE GOVERNMENT'S FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE
		GIVING THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY DESIRE
		AND THE EAGLE'S FLYING ON WOUNDED WING

		WHILE THE LADY IN THE HARBOR HANGS HER HEAD IN SHAME
CH		HEY IT'S TIME WE STOOD UP AND RANG THE LIBERTY BELL
		FOR A NATION DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF
		FROM BORDER TO BORDER COAST TO COAST
		COMPASSION FOR EACH OTHER'S WHAT WE NEED MOST
		POINT YOUR FINGER AT THE OTHER POINT OF VIEW 
		AND YOU'LL FIND THREE MORE POINTING BACK AT YOU  
 		CITIZEN POLITICIAN LEFT OR RIGHT
		WE'RE ALL A PART OF THE GREAT AMERICAN DIVIDE

BR		WITH TEMPERS ON FIRE THE ANGRY MARCH
		FLAGS ARE BURNED AND CHURCHES TORCHED
		NOTHING'S SACRED NOBODY'S SAFE
		WHEN COMMON SENSE REASON GIVES IN TO RAGE

CH  		HEY IT'S TIME WE STOOD UP AND RANG THE LIBERTY BELL
		FOR A NATION DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF
		FROM BORDER TO BORDER COAST TO COAST
		COMPASSION FOR EACH OTHER'S WHAT WE NEED MOST
		POINT YOUR FINGER AT THE OTHER POINT OF VIEW
		AND YOU'LL FIND THREE MORE POINTING BACK AT YOU
		WHEN IGNORANCE RULES AND JUSTICE HIDES
		WE ALL PAY THE PRICE FOR THE GREAT AMERICAN DIVIDE

TAG		BROTHER AND SISTER SIDE BY SIDE
		TOGETHER WE CAN HEAL THE GREAT AMERICAN DIVIDE
