Hidden Enemy

by Kingfisher

/
1.
Came to town with your tribe at your side, steadfast and true to the cause you're obliged Your wool might be black but you're still just a lamb, being led to the end by an army of rats The harder you try, the further you fail, and spend another year chasing your tail You don't know what you're fighting for Always so proud that you think for yourself, as long as you think just like everyone else Irrational fears that you're being replaced, break free from oppression that never took place The higher you climb, the further you fall, then you find your backs against the wall You don't know what you're fighting for Cry freedom, there you are, arm in arm against the world Cry freedom, can't be wrong, as far as you're concerned Cry freedom, hold the line, farewell to the life you left behind Cry freedom, there you are, arm in arm against the world Cry freedom, can't be wrong, as far as you're concerned Cry freedom, hold the line, farewell to the life you left behind You don't know what you're fighting for

Hidden Enemy 02:49
We all got our hidden enemies I'm always on the run from you I speak in confused soliloquy And blur the fiction and the truth When I tried to suppress eruption Man, I tried everything I knew Moments I mistook for something Something I believed was true When I believed in you If perfection is confused with symmetry Is time linear or loose? What is this that we call heavenly? Our cold convenience masked as truth? You can't have my deep convictions Or try to take them all away Or haunt me with your premonitions And wait until you hear me say What I will never say.

Hey Citizen 03:16
Hey citizen, sit down for a sec, let me tell you how I'll leave you for dead I don't care if you're starving and cold, shut your mouth and do what you're told Hey citizen, back in the line, I swear I'll never leave you behind We're all in it together, that's what I said, I guess we'll see where we land in the end This is easy, you're all so naive, watch real close while I lie through my teeth You all believe everything that you read, and I won't show you anything at all Hey citizen, don't make a fuss, you can take another kick in the nuts You gotta get home and stay for a stretch, excuse me though I've got a flight to catch This is easy, you're all so naive, watch real close while I lie through my teeth You all believe everything that you read And it's clear to me that you can't resist, an agitating two faced hypocrite Don't speak to us like you've got any right, we've got blood to bleed, and mouths to feed, and hearts filled up with spite So when we push back, you'll jump on that, and shed some tears for show, I'm still surprised to see how low you can go Hey citizen I'm at it again, I can smile like a trusty old friend Never walk the talk that I'm giving you now, always get my way let me show you how Hey citizen I swear I can change, I'll shout it loud while I stand on this stage Give me your vote, I'll shield you from the rain, 'til the battle's been won, then it's more of the same This is easy, you're all so naive, watch real close while I lie through my teeth You all believe everything that you read And it's clear to me that you can't resist, an agitating two faced hypocrite Don't speak to us like you've got any right, we've got blood to bleed, and mouths to feed, and hearts filled up with spite So when we push back, you'll jump on that, and shed some tears for show, I'm still surprised to see how low you can go There's no way to explain why we put you in power, can't amend the past, but we'll fix it up now Made some mistakes, but now you're exposed We were ready for life on the open road, and should have known that we couldn't count on a Ford Don't speak to us like you've got any right, we've got blood to bleed, and mouths to feed, and hearts filled up with spite So when we push back, you'll jump on that, and shed some tears for show, I'm still surprised to see how low you can go

Born and raised in a cold government town The old generic story told Sparks ignite and felt the rush from deep inside Redemption comes into the fold You were young and hard then you got broken You never lost the fire inside And all your dreams of endless summers And open roads will never die They will never die Trying times along such necessary lines Battle scars and things you owned Broken dreams and thoughts of giving up entirely The price that's paid on growing old You were young and hard then you got broken You never lost the fire inside And all your dreams of endless summers And open roads will never die I will never die
