Divide And Conquer Lyrics - Husker Du

Well they divided up all the land 

And we've got states and cities 

Cities have their neighborhoods 

And more subdivisions 

There's countries divided by walls 

Oceans and latitudes 

And longitude, longing to find out 

Just what they're missing, whoa 

They're lots of area codes 

And nine digit zip codes 

Secret decoder ring codes 

Arteries, shopping nodes 

We'll invent some new computers 

Link up the global village 

And get AP, UPI, and Reuters 

To tell everybody, news news 

We'll be one happy neighborhood 

Spread out across the world 

Who's going to stop that burglar 

From breaking in my house 

If he lives that far away, wha 

We'll be just like old friends 

No means to your ends 

The police state is to busy 

The neighborhood's getting out of hand 

Big Brother on every wall 

Muzak plays in all the halls 

Empires see the rise and fall 

They divide, conquer 

It's not about my politics 

Something happened way too quick 

A bunch of men who played it sick 

They divide, conquer 

It's all here before your eyes 

Safety is a big disguise 

That hides among the other lies 

They divide, conquer, what oh oh, oh oh 

Well I expect I won't be heard 

'Cause my silence is assured 

Never a discouraging word 

They divide and conquer 

They divide and conquer 

Divide and conquer 

They divide and conquer 

Divide and conquer, listen 

Na na na na na na na 

Na na na na na na na 

Na na na na, whoa 

Divide and conquer 

Divide and conquer 

And conquer 

Divide and conquer 

And conquer 

Divide and conquer 

And conquer, listen 

La la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la 

La la la, whoa, yeh
