Great Divide

 

Verse 1

Mighty river wanders

Cutting a divide as it goes

Its elevated banks widen

Distance not reflective of flow

 

Verse 2

On one side a prosperous people

Wallowing in obscene wealth

On the other a human slum

Pungent with the stench of death

 

Chorus

Crisis should bring us together

Not drive a wedge between

Rich really dont care

About poverty largely unseen

 

Verse 3

Crisis creates unrest

As the poor starve and die

Virus takes care of the old

For the rich in towers so high

 

Verse 4

Vaccine touted as a saviour

Just another part of the plan

Planting an organic time bomb

To continue the thinning of man

 

Chorus

Crisis should bring us together

Not drive a wedge between

Rich really dont care

About poverty largely unseen

 

Bridge

Civil unrest the tool

Socialism the goal

Living wage the answer

To break the wealthy rule

​

Verse 5

An earth quake is coming

To destroy the great divide

Banks will crumble into the river

Anarchy will provide

 

Chorus

Crisis should bring us together

Not drive a wedge between

Rich really dont care

About poverty largely unseen
