In this world There's a space that's growing further every day Where palace walls blockdesperate calls And plant the seed of such dismay It's the fire that fuels the mobs Between the “have's” and the “have not's” It's the power that be that Hold the line This wall This wedge built by design
Open up the doors and look outside You can't deny it Pick up the pace or get left behind This is the great divide
It's getting further now More and more dropping out It's happening right now Each and every day Watch it all come apart No stopping what they start Oh yeah here we are This is the great divide
From broken homes to golden thrones There's this universe between What someone posses Other's at best Will only see in magazines It's pretty grim you sink or swim If that's what you've been dealt It's dog eat dog When money's god Your forced to ratchet it up your belt
Open up the doors and look outside You can't deny it Pick up the pace or get left behind This is the great divide
Who is going to make it across Who will gain from some others loss Walk the plank and fall right off It's the nature of the game Men in suits distort the truth In this zone of who is who Oh yeah here we are this is the great divide
