Disturbed - Divisive - Reprise
Everywhere you look these days, hyper tribalism has taken hold. Those in power continue to use fear and hate mongering to further empower themselves, continuing to try to turn us against one another.

This record is a critique of this dangerous status quo we are living in. - Disturbed
