Divide Rule

I don't need division anymore I don't want it darkening my door All the negativity that curbs the big society And brings us only enmity can go So cross me off and don't forget this one expression I reserve for nothing but the likes of you, weak chin Your party and your popularity contest led to this It does nothing for the people nor for me Get out You gotta respond You gotta respond You gotta respond You gotta responsibility You gotta ticket You gotta ticket You gotta ticket You gotta take it seriously You never back up You never back up Back up your words You never back up You never back up Back up your words Prove to me you comprehend The shape of want and dignity The epic sweep of history Of power preying on the weak Levering our prejudice Demonising otherness It's the oldest trick in the book Divide and rule Change may be the only thing You can rely on Always thrusting on And it should keep us hungry for The best of all the worlds in store Your treasured memories Realise that's all they are We can never go back To fix any of the mistakes We were always supposed to make And learn from them Think twice and then Don't move so fast Don't break so much You owe your ancestors that much We came from shit But you don't have to dwell in it Decision, decisions, decisions The tried and true Divide and rule Don't suffer fools Divide and rule Needlessly cruel Divide and rule Cast off the rough and sell the jewel The tried and true Divide and rule Don't suffer fools Divide and rule Needlessly cruel Divide and rule Cast off the rough and sell the jewel
