Husker Du - Divide And Conquer lyrics

Well they divided up all the land And we've got states and cities Cities have their neighborhoods And more subdivisions There's countries divided by walls Oceans and latitudes And longitude, longing to find out Just what they're missing They're lots of area codes And nine digit zip codes Secret decoder ring codes Arteries, shopping nodes We'll invent some new computers Link up the global village And get AP, UPI, and Reuters To tell everybody the news We'll be one happy neighborhood Spread out across the world But who's going to stop that burglar From breaking in my house If he lives that far away We'll be just like old friends No means to your ends The police state is to busy And the neighborhood's getting out of hand It's not about my politics Something happened way too quick A bunch of men who played it sick They divide, conquer It's all here before your eyes Safety is a big disguise That hides among the other lies They divide, conquer Well I expect I won't be heard Because my silence is a**ured Never a discouraging word They divide and conquer They divide and conquer
