A House Divided

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

We all know about the hate you're breeding

And we pay for the machine you're feeding

You can never shut up, you can never shut down

This house divided, this house divided

(We all know, we all know)

This house divided

(Something's wrong, we all know)

[Verse 2]

Something's wrong about the way you're thinking

The rats are jumping, and your ship is sinking

You can never get on, you can never get off

This house divided

[Verse 3]

We all hear about the case you're pleading

Your demands have gone beyond conceding

You can never get in, you can never get out

This house divided

[Verse 4]

This is a sad day for violence

When speech results in silence

I'm supposed to hate you

You're supposed to hate me

We can never agree

[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]

[Verse 5]

Now we've become so desperate

Don't you forget you asked for it!

I'm supposed to hate you

You're supposed to hate me

We never agree

[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]

[Outro]

We all know about the hate you're breeding

And we pay for the machine you're feeding

A house divided, a house divided

A house divided, a house divided
