It Doesn't Have To Be

Erasure

You are on one side

And I am on the other

Are we divided?

You are on one side

I am on the other

Are we divided?

Why can't we live together

There are no rights

This isn't your decision

We need to talk of changing things

But no one wants to listen

It doesn't have to be like that

It doesn't have to be like that

It doesn't have to be like that



A heart on the inside

The same as any other

Are we divided?

Someone always has to suffer

We are broken

There's no one left to change it

Is that the way it has to be?

Why can't we rearrange it?

It doesn't have to be like that

(One against one)

It doesn't have to be like that

(One against one)

It doesn't have to be like that

What is the secret

In calling me a brother?

Are we divided?

Always one against the other

We are strong now

Put down the ammunition

For what we know is right

Is gonna breakdown this division

It doesn't have to be like that

(One against one)

It doesn't have to be like that

(One against one)

It doesn't have to be like that

(One against one)

(One against one)

It doesn't have to be like that

You are one side

And I am on the other

Are we divided?
