Well they divided up all the land
And we've got states and cities
Cities have their neighborhoods
And more subdivisions
There's countries divided by walls
Oceans and latitudes
And longitude, longing to find out
Just what they're missing
They're lots of area codes
And nine digit zip codes
Secret decoder ring codes
Arteries, shopping nodes
We'll invent some new computers
Link up the global village
And get AP, UPI, and Reuters
To tell everybody the news
We'll be one happy neighborhood
Spread out across the world
But who's going to stop that burglar
From breaking in my house
If he lives that far away
We'll be just like old friends
No means to your ends
The police state is to busy
And the neighborhood's getting out of hand
It's not about my politics
Something happened way too quick
A bunch of men who played it sick
They divide, conquer
It's all here before your eyes
Safety is a big disguise
That hides among the other lies
They divide, conquer
Well I expect I won't be heard
Because my silence is assured
Never a discouraging word
They divide and conquer
They divide and conquer
The lyrics DIVIDE AND CONQUER of HUSKER DU is also present in the album Flip your wig (1985)
Husker Dü (pronunciato "Hoosker Doo") è stata una band rock americana proveniente da Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. Il nome della band significa «Ti ricordi?» in danese e norvegese. La formazione originale comprendeva Bob Mould alla chitarra, Greg Norton al basso e Grant Hart alla batteria. Husker Dü ha contribuito a definire il suono del movimento alternative rock degli anni '80, combinando influenze punk, indie e noise rock. Il loro stile musicale era caratterizzato da riff aggressivi, melodie orecchiabili e testi introspettivi che affrontavano temi come l'alienazione, la solitudine e la ricerca di identità. Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo *Zen Arcade* (1984), considerato un capolavoro del genere alternative rock, e *New Day Rising* (1985). La band si è sciolta nel 1988 dopo una serie di contrasti interni. Bob Mould ha continuato la sua carriera musicale con i Sugar e come artista solista, mentre Grant Hart ha intrapreso un percorso da musicista indipendente.
