[Verse 1]
Heaven sinking like a stone
Nature's medical patients waiting for the A-bomb
Paper the cracks and turn the pages
Working for no wages, dying to be famous

[Chorus]
God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us

[Verse 2]
I'm faithless and searching for a saviour
I saw my happiness fading and moral defamation
Bless you for every truth you strangle
A word for every scandal, for this we should be thankful

[Bridge]
Would it really count if I knew better?
I ask, why does freedom taste so bitter
Is it easier to feel uncommon?

[Chorus]
God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us
[Bridge]
Would it really count if I knew better?
I ask, why does freedom taste so bitter
Is it easier to feel uncommon?

[Chorus]
God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us
God bless the divided states of us
