The Great Dividers Lyrics
That led their people
It's true there were better ones
To lead their country
It's true there were better ones
Who cared for this world
It's true there were better ones
But who are we to change
Without the strength of all
The nations will crumble
bring the nations to it's knees
Risking worldy structure and integrity
Controlled by hatred, distorted truth and lies
United is the only way to stand
United is the only way to stand
Lead into the land of the un-free
Hammered down with a fist too bold
Play the council of pawn
in the quest for total control
Free us from this Hate
Does hate mean Freedom?
Divide our home
Does hate mean freedom?
Take over the world
Does hate mean freedom?
Take over the world, divide our world.
I'm really thinking this song has a lot to do with the war in Iraq and how the U.S. is isolating itself from the rest of the world.
i love everything about this song the breakdowns the harmonies the vocals the lyrics everrything is perfect in my opinion. I love this song the lyrics are staight forward but articulate at the same time its fuckin awesome
This song definetely has alot of views in it. First it states that hatred is a way to control masses to make them agree with wars. ie we're told by the media etc that muslims are evil and all terrorists. I think the meaning of this song is to tell people to see past all of these differences and to make their own opinions on who is evil. cuz if u look at it we used to be allies with iraq and our country switches sides on who its against all of the time.
"feed lies for war" could have something to the false pretenses for invading Iraq like WMDs and other falso threats. "god sent politics" sounds like bush to me. Since he said that god told him to invade iraq. "Leaders of the free world Lead into the land of the un-free" I believe this is simple the United States leading troops into a Iraq.
This song is incredible by the way.
if anybody's interested
go to 1:20 from that part onwards for about 30 odd seconds it sounds parkway drive ish
the first few lines basically says that a lot of people whom we call "leaders" are false...there have been better ones...and the present ones should act like those good leaders. "Controlled by hatred, distorted truth and lies" could mean that modern society (mainly american) is bent on destroying the people of iraq and whatnot because we are being told that they are evil and are terrorists...every single of 'em...
this is one of my favourite songs on the album
LOL. You dimwits are every bit as brainwashed as those you accuse of being so.
Kick-ass song. Brain-damaged fans.
