The Great Divide Lyrics

It's a breakdown, of the greatest divide
Never had a chance you were
Dead when you arrived
Class war to the 'nth degree
And they're coming for us and
Everyone that we trust

It's a breakdown, of rationality
Re-enforcement of false beliefs
Class war to the 'nth degree
And they're coming for us and
Everyone that we trust

While white collar crime runs out of control
Across the great divide lays
The wretched poor
A rotting melting pot of haves
And of have nots
So fix your bayonets, 'cause we're at war

It's a breakdown, or morality
A poor man's prison is a rich man's greed
Class war to the 'nth degree
In God we trust, they're coming for us

It's a breakdown, of your godly verse
The meek shall inherit the least of the earth
Class war to the 'nth degree
In God we trust, they're coming for us

While white collar crime runs out of control
Across the great divide lays
The wretched poor
A rotting melting pot of haves
And of have nots so fix your bayonets
Be strong, be brave
We're crossing the great divide
Be brave, we're crossing the divide
