I'm drained on the American dream Even though we're taught it's equal That's not the way it seems All the racist rhetoric And the blatant classist lies Magnify the great divide Keep doing as we're told Their lies are getting old We read between the lines In the great divide She's sick in a hospital bed She had to pay the bus fare So she stopped her medicine Now she works a second job Just to pay the doctors off When she looks at her scars Man, it crushes her heart The Great Divide
