Roger Glover - Divided World lyrics

rate me

Shaking with anger, she moves like a hurricane

there's another horizon, but you'll never leave her.

She's black and she's white now, wrong and she's right again

you can't see the reason, but it doesn't matter.

...and the laughing and the crying are the same thing

to the joker who is sitting on the wall,

...and the sadness and gladness come together

like a brother and a sister to us all.

It's a divided world, it's always going to be

some people close their eyes, there's not so much to see

it's a divided world, and that's no shame

it's all a compromise, you can't explain.

Time and the season change like the weatherman

we're up in the slipstream, but we're down in the basement.

A duel of power, love and the sacrifice

they're sharing the same road but in different directions

...and the laughing and the crying are the same thing

to the joker who is sitting on the wall,

And the sadness and the gladness come together

like a brother and a sister to us all.

It's a divided world, it's always going to be

some people close their eyes, there's not so much to see

it's a divided world, and that's no shame

it's all a compromise, you can't explain.
