The Divided States of Us

Heaven sinking like a stone
Nature's medical patients waiting for the A-bomb
Paper the cracks and turn the pages
Working for no wages, dying to be famous

God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us

I'm faithless and searching for a saviour
I saw my happiness fading and moral defamation
Bless you for every truth you strangle
A word for every scandal, for this we should be thankful

Would it really count if I knew better?
I ask, why does freedom taste so bitter?
Is it easier to feel uncommon?

God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us

Would it really count if I knew better?

God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us
