In this world
Theres a space thats growing further every day
Where palace walls blockdesperate calls
And plant the seed of such dismay
Its the fire that fuels the mobs
Between the haves and the have nots
Its the power that be that
Hold the line
This wall
This wedge built by design
Open up the doors and look outside
You cant deny it
Pick up the pace or get left behind
This is the great divide
Its getting further now
More and more dropping out
Its 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
Theres this universe between
What someone posses
Others at best
Will only see in magazines
Its pretty grim you sink or swim
If thats what youve been dealt
Its dog eat dog
When moneys god
Your forced to ratchet it up your belt
Open up the doors and look outside
You cant 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
Its 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
