Seth Lakeman - Divided We Will Fall Lyrics

It's Friday night down somewhere
The whole nation is taking a train
In a field of haunted faces
Through the weeds of worry and pain
By day we dig the ditches
By night we stack the books
Scratch at the same old common itch
Stare at the same old looks

Divided we will fall
Divided we will fall

We hold on to our headlines
Full of lies and twisted tales
Tonight, in some bar somewhere
We'll recall how everything fails
But each of us love our children
And our husbands and our wives
And like it or not we're moving along
In and out of everyman's lives

Divided we will fall
Divided we will fall

It's Monday morning somewhere
We're all over the station like flies
We move too fast to focus
Or look in another man's eyes
We see our brother in there
Our sister looking back
In the heart of a nation beating along
With the feet of a nation off-track

Divided we will fall
Divided we will fall
Divided we will fall
Divided we will fall

The governments they will rise up
Governments they will fall
But the view is always clearer
When you're standing on the top of a wall
Those of us who took the train
Will bear out the coming storm
Together we all take the strain
Divided, divided we will fall
