The Great Divide Lyrics - Jjx

She wants her way, he craves his say 

Tangled in the moment 

warring with our lovers 

all of us transfixed 

we forget about our brothers. 

Caught up in the ignorance, 

Cut short by the incidents. 

Living by the gun 

they forget to kiss their mothers 

Ending up addicted and killing one another 

Dreams fulfilled with prescriptions 

Minds controlled by media 

Ohhh, oh nooo... 

Riff raff on the radio, terror on the tele 

Oppression in the papers 

murder in the movies 

Our minds closed off and hollowed 

Our hearts drained low and shallow 

So what's our fixation with destined destruction? Are we becoming slaves to our paranoid notions? Are we dead before we've died? Is it all in our minds, or just the Great Divide? 

I don't know, but once been told 

That when change comes, it comes real slow 

I guess that's true for me and you. 'Cause look at just what we do. 

We wear our masks, we grin and lie 

We shade or face to blind our eyes 

We wear our masks, we grin and lie 

We shade or face to blind our eyes 

The only way to change this tide? 

Tangled in the moment 

warring with our lovers 

all of us transfixed 

we forget about our brothers...
