Divided we stand - United we fall

[Intro] Oh, say… can you see By the dawn’s early light What they hailed so proudly Was it truth… or just twilight’s last gleaming? [Verse 1 ] Fool me once, shame on you How patriotic, red, white, and blue Fool me twice, shame on me Take the stars, take the free Never-ending lies, hypocrisy Let’s stop pretending that petty and greed Ain’t got a hunger it’ll always feed Subscribe to a narrative, snake in a suit Bend the knee, kiss the ring, or get the boot [Pre-Chorus 1] They’re in your ears, tell you what to see How to think, and call it “free” But don’t you dare step out of line They’ll burn the truth before it shines We can’t afford to look away The cracks are here, and here to stay [Chorus 1] Divided we stand (United we fall) Wasn’t war that end us It’s the rot on the inside that started off small Divided we stand (United we fall) Too shortsighted to see it all Say it out Loud and maybe you’ll learn something today Divided we stand (United we fall) [Verse 2] Need a helping hand, brother? Oh wait, I’m your enemy You wrote off half your family, was it worth it? Spew hate, arrogance, lies with glee Plant your flag on the wrong side of history One-sided justice, “we voted for this” Does it scream any louder than fascist? Condemn the poor, let the guilty run free Turn the truth upside down on live TV Daily doses of fear and rage No middle ground, no turning the page Like the Third Reich, like ancient Rome The cracks are here, in our own home [Pre-Chorus 2] They’re in your ears, skew what you see Shape what you think, kill what you believe The lies are loud, but the truth still breathes Rise up now before it’s buried beneath [Chorus 2] Divided we stand (United we fall) Wasn’t war that end us It’s the rot on the inside that started off small Divided we stand (United we fall) Open your eyes before the curtain calls The truth is hidden, the stories untold Don’t wait for history to repeat, be bold Divided we stand (United we fall) [Bridge] Tension pounding in the air The time is NOW if you care They push the enemy within While crown the so called king Call it great Or be deemed enemy of the state But We are the People And we are Free! Government of the people, By the people, for the people, Shall not perish from the earth Nightmares feed on broken dreams Stand, fight, rise, or fall in the flame Stand and Say This anthem is ours, remember the Way! [Chorus 3] Divided we stand (United we fall) Hear the voices, the writing on the wall Rise above the lies, break the chain Stand together, or fall in vain Divided we stand (United we fall) Shallow men laugh while we build their walls Follow the leaders, or choose to think The fire’s coming, closer than you think Divided we stand (United we fall) [Outro] Their pockets grow deeper while we go for each other’s throats They laugh in their towers while we drown in what they wrote A better tomorrow Starts Today. If you made it this far, you don’t have to like what I say But remember… that’s what makes this country great "Get up. Speak out. Because like it or not, history’s coming home."
