We Will Not Be Divided - Dan Bern Lyrics




From the halls of Montezuma

Down to the coal mines of Beaver Falls

Socialist workers, moveon.org

Green Peace, the Capital Mall

International Brotherhood of Electical Workers

United Fruit, the PTA



We will not be divided, My friends,

We will not be divided

We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided



From the clashing cliffs of Big Sur

To the white sands of the Keys

Massapequa, Sausolito

The sound of the Puget Breeze



The bloody ground of Gettysburg

To the white Wyoming fields

We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided



You can separate a worker from his rightful dollar

His Peso, his Euro, his Yen

Trample his freedom, his restitution,

His constitution my friend



Steal his loot and take it to some island retreat

You can run but you cannot hide

We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided



Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin,

Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine

Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Rodney King

Woody Guthrie singing out in the rain

Emma Goldman, Eleanor Roosevelt

Abraham, Martin, and John



We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided

We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided



From the tea-dumping party in Boston

Little Rock, Memphis, Ann Arbor

Julia Butterfly drawing the line

Seattle '99



Haymarket, Christopher Street

Paul Revere and his great freedom ride

We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided



Fight on the picket line

Down in the coal mine

Working the phone lines

Standing in the break line



Humanists, Economists, God-fearing atheists

Fair minded peace-loving people everywhere

I do believe even Jesus Christ would cry

to the heavens above:

We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided



From Broadway to the Milky Way, Pacific Coast Highway

Pompano Beach, Long Island, Queens

The Brazos, The Ohio, Columbia, Manonga, Hela

Missisippi down to New Orleans,

Oakland to Aukland, Venice to Venezuala, Cairo to Tel

Aviv



We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided



Jesus in the desert

Moses in the sea

Mohammed on that mountain

And the I and the Me become We

Guantanamo to Wall Street

Islamabad to Church Street

The moon to Mercury



We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided



Wherever people defend their right to

own their own destiny

Defend themselves against lies, against greed

Defend their rights to be free

From the Euphrates primordial mud

to the dust of the moons of Mars



We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided

We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided

We will not be divided, my friends

We will not be divided
