We said: Give us your lives and more
And we said: Ttake all and all before
Before we find
That greed rules our minds
We said: Spare all, but then waged war
Now we say: Save us but save no more
It's gonna keep us apart
It’s gonna keep us apart
It's gonna keep us apart
It's gonna keep us apart
They say, to follow them blindly
And to pray, for things that we won’t see
The powers that be
They're in you and me
We say: Burn less and walk lightly
But we trade, comfort for rising seas
I broke such a beautiful home for you
I broke such a beautiful home for you
I broke such a beautiful home for you
I broke such a beautiful home for you
You said that we would all get more
You said that all our love would grow
And you said that it would all restore
And you said that this is all we know
It's gonna keep us apart
It's gonna keep us apart
It's gonna keep us apart
It's gonna keep us apart
Don't let it keep us apart
Don't let it keep us apart
Don’t let it keep us apart
Don’t let it keep us apart
