Divide and Rule

from Harijan by Harijan

lyrics

Since I’ve been young, I’ve always sensed something wrong
A sinister thought, spawned by the old
Corruption so cruel, robbery of the youth
The cancer of progress, the first betrayal
These fuckers don’t just own the seeds that we sow
The shops where we slave or the burgers we fry
Final tragedy what our rules possess
Mental production their most treasured conquest

Divide and Rule
Who is the new enemy?
It’s no surprise
The same throughout history

Divide and Rule
Who is the new enemy?
It’s no surprise
The same throughout history

I have here an important message from God
He says he’s concerned and he’d like to help out
The problem it seems is the lack of belief
Subdue yourself now for the sweet afterlife
One sorry factor in this horror story
There are none quite as great as our home-grown elite
We stand by the battles our grandfathers fought
We rid ourselves clean of guilty afterthoughts

Divide and Rule
Who is the new enemy?
It’s no surprise
The same throughout history

Divide and Rule
Who is the new enemy?
It’s no surprise
The same throughout history

You rob us of our free time and pitch us against our friends
Let it be, on your head
Appreciate the power, realise who pulls the strings
Unity will bring us strength
So close so many times with punishments worse than defeat
Beat us back, tread with care
A satisfaction gained from the sole strength of our beliefs
Raise your fist, prepare to fight

It’s essential you see
Listen to the class-analyser
You’d like to disagree?
Then prepare for a war to the end
It sounds harsh but it’s what we inherit
It’s not our legacy
We are proud of our struggles and fuck-ups
Try and shake our belief

You rob us of our free time and pitch us against our friends
Let it be, on your head
Appreciate the power, realise who pulls the strings
Unity will bring us strength
So close so many times with punishments worse than defeat
Beat us back, tread with care
A satisfaction gained from the sole strength of our beliefs
Raise your fist, prepare to fight

Since I’ve been young, I’ve always sensed something wrong
A sinister thought, spawned by the old
Corruption so cruel, robbery of the youth
The cancer of progress, the first betrayal
These fuckers don’t just own the seeds that we sow
The shops where we slave or the burgers we fry
Final tragedy what our rules possess
Mental production their most treasured conquest

Divide and Rule
Who is the new enemy?
It’s no surprise
The same throughout history

Divide and Rule
Who is the new enemy?
It’s no surprise
The same throughout history

Divide and Rule
Who is the new enemy?
It’s no surprise
The same throughout history

Divide and Rule
Who is the new enemy?
It’s no surprise
The same throughout history
