Why's the Dworld so divided?
CEverybody's fighting 'bout the Bmway we think
Someone else should Clive
When our Gkids are the leaders
They'll Cdo it like the teachers
That dEmon't hear what we're sCaying
But they Emsee the moves we make
[Chorus]
We takGe separate roads
We mCake different homes, but
DWe're all tied to this one life
LovGe has no race
Every hCeart beats the same and
EmWe're all tied to tDhis one lifeG  C  
[Verse]
From the Gslum to a palace
Put your fCinger on the atlas
GEverywhere the air is still the Csame
From the gGods of those who follow
CEverybody's hollow
If you Emturn the other waCy
Put yourEmself in their placCe
Something's gotta breakG  
[Chorus]
We take separate roads
CWe make different homes but

Every Cheart beats the same and
