Roger Glover - Divided World Lyrics

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.
