Cornfields whisper empty in the wind
The seasons change
It's election time again
Our next-door neighbors used to be our friends
But now there's a wall between us
No compassion left to lend
Sunday mornings after church
We used to gather round the fire
Now we draw from different wells
And spread that barbed wire higher
I can't quite explain it
Something's not the same
There's a feeling in the air
Causing this unexplainable change
How can a country be divided by politics?
Where we used to share a meal
Now we're throwin' sticks
The same ol' stars and stripes feel like it's been split
How can a country be divided by politics?
Johnny's farm is next to mine
It was his grand-daddy's land
But now we argue 'bout the times
Can't agree on where we stand
No more sharin' tools
Or givin' a helping hand
We barely say hello
I don't understand
Miss Linda used to bake those pies
We'd all meet for a slice
Now she stands on her side of the line
With pain etched in her eyes
It's hard to watch it happen
Though it happens all the time
A community divided can't survive
How can a country be divided by politics?
Where we used to share a meal
Now we throwin' bricks
The same ol' stars and stripes feel like it's been split
How can a country be divided by politics?
Johnny's farm is next to mine, by politics
Where we used to share a meal
Now we throwin' bricks
The same ol' stars and stripes feel like it's been split
How can a country be divided by politics?
Cornfields whisper empty in the wind
The seasons change
It's election time again
Our next-door neighbors used to be our friends
But now there's a wall between us
No compassion left to lend
Miss Linda used to bake those pies
We'd all meet for a slice
Now she stands on her side of the line
With pain etched in her eyes
It's hard to watch it happen
Though it happens all the time
A community divided can't survive
How can a country be divided by politics?
Where we used to share a meal
Now we throwin' bricks
The same ol' stars and stripes feel like it's been split
How can a country be divided by politics?
How can a country be divided by politics?
