Divided Times

I was the quiet kid in the corner of the room
The one you never paid much mind
Until you tried to prove yourself by just kicking me to hell
Now I'm a violent man
Gunnin' through these violent times

Well, I was a rising athlete
And I had the world laid out at the fury of my feet
Until you killed my brothers and my feet refused to rise
But I was exalted
To be a legend of my time

Love
Is all there's been ever was and is
Your love
Or the lack thereof
Is gonna shape the world we're living in

I brought you borders and a cage
And still, you put me, you put me where I am today
Sitting on this gilded throne in a prison of my own
I am the convict
Just leading your convicted life

Love
Is all there's been ever was and is
Your love
Or the lack thereof
Is gonna shape the world we're living in

By now you're asking "Well, who are you
And what gives you the right to
Speak the way you do?"
I was born just inside a generational divide
I'm just divided, man!
Speaking to divided times!

Alright
Speaking to divided times
To divided times
Just gettin' through divided times
I'm gonna love you in divided times
Love you in divided times
Love you in divided times

Still gonna love you in divided times
Still gonna love you in divided times
Still gonna love you in divided times
Still gonna love you in divided times
I'm gonna love you in divided times
