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)

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


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


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




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



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
