22 Jan 23 - 11:32 AM (#4163185) Subject: RE: Divided country From: cnd Here's my transcription of Divided Country from the link above, on We Are Melting by Bing Lyle and Ben Paley. There's one spot I wasn't sure of, about 1:40 in. Corrections are welcome. We're living in the land of the great divide The cut is deep and the wound is wide With little love on either side To heal this divided country Rise for the judge, he'll make sure We all stand equal in the eyes of the Lord But it's one for the rich, another for the poor In this divided country Divide and rule, that's the plan We carry out whenever we can Set ourselves against our fellow man In this divided country There's room at the top to do as you please Live a life of luxuries While other poor sods are being brought to their knees In this divided country The stars and the royals have a jolly good time Meanwhile, down in the filth and slime We're scheming and a-dreaming of a life of crime In this divided country Got out the ??? and played it rough Got out the rest who haven't got enough Crawl up the ladder, the going's getting tough In this divided country The wheelers and dealers are making a kill Monopoly money buys a house on a hill Far away from the workers in the mill In this divided country Some have got, some have not So just be grateful for the crumbs you've got And thank you're lucky stars you haven't been shot In this divided country No, don't rock the boat, don't complain Bite the bullet again and again And your blessings disappearing down the drain In this divided country For every problem under the sun There's a solution to suit everyone And each says it's the only one In this divided country Saying "You're in the dark, I've seen the light You're all wrong, so I'm alright And where we disagree there's another cause to fight In this divided country Where woman hates man, Arab, Jew Pagan, Christian, and I hate you We're stuck with each and we don't know what to do About this divided country Cause we're living in the land of the great divide The cut is deep and the wound is wide With little love on either side To heal this divided country |
