(Intro hook - big upbeat beat first then Tambourine) (Vocal -Male main vocal folk - whispered soft MALE voice, backing female vocal echo's) **[Verse 1]** Keep us fighting, keep us apart, Put a little anger in every heart. Give us a target, give us a side, Keep us too busy to look outside. **[Verse 2]** Give us a label, give us a name, Tell us our neighbour is part of the blame. Feed us the outrage, turn up the heat, Then sit back laughing while we take the bait. **[Pre-Chorus]** Keep us angry, keep us loud, Give us something to fight about. Point the finger, pick a side, While the ones upstairs enjoy the ride. **[Chorus]** Keep us fighting, keep us blind, Keep us busy wasting time. Left and right, black and white, Keep us arguing through the night. While we're busy choosing sides, Someone's counting what's inside. Keep us fighting, that's the game, Change the players, keep the same. **[Verse 3]** Turn on the television, watch the show, Tell us who to hate and where to go. One more scandal, one more fight, One more headline screaming through the night. **[Verse 4]** Neighbour hates neighbour, friend hates friend, Everybody thinks the other side's the end. While we're throwing blame across the street, Someone upstairs is counting receipts. **[Pre-Chorus]** Keep us angry, keep us scared, Tell us someone's always to blame. Give us something else to see, Anything but who's got the key. **[Chorus]** Keep us fighting, keep us blind, Keep us busy wasting time. Left and right, black and white, Keep us arguing through the night. While we're busy choosing sides, Someone's counting what's inside. Keep us fighting, that's the game, Change the players, keep the same. **[Bridge]** What if we stopped and looked around? What if we listened to common ground? What if the people dropped the fight, And stood together, wrong and right? **[Breakdown]** No more labels, no more teams, No more feeding somebody else's schemes. If we're divided, we're easy to lead, If we stand together, we might finally see. **[Final Chorus]** Keep us fighting, keep us blind, Keep us busy wasting time. Left and right, black and white, Keep us arguing through the night. But the people are starting to see, Division isn't destiny. Keep us fighting, that's the game... But we're waking up the same. **[Outro]** Left says right and right says left, Everybody's tired of giving their best. Maybe the answer was here all along... We were never meant to fight each other this long.
