Prince's Iraq War-era plea for peace, "United States of Division," finally gets wide release
Briefly

Lyrically, as its title suggests, 'United States of Division' is a political - albeit non-partisan - song, calling on everyone to 'stop fighting,' put down their guns, and 'gather round' and 'make love.'
In one poignant and epically campy moment, Prince sings 'Why must I say 'God Bless America' and not the rest of the world?...Every man, woman, boy, and girl,' interloping the melody of the national anthem over the lyrical allusion to it.
