lyrics

THE ENEMY WITHIN

Think you’re free to say what you like
But what you like is dictated by me;
You’re defined by the rags you’re wrapped in
And all the crap you hear’n’taste’n’see.
Grab your loudhailers and protest banners
Swayed you’re giving the State a shake;
Your parade is through a dreamworld I made
Only I can make you wake.
Troop into my cubicles
Let’s see if you know how to spell ‘X’;
That’s the extent of your democratic power
I suppress the rest.
Convinced you’re an artist
Cursed by originality
But I set the bar down on the ground
To accommodate your banality.

I keep the dirt-stained stinking homeless
On the street in full view
To scare you into doing
What I want you to.
Think these the froth-lipped babblings
Of a cooked brain in a tinfoil hat?
Good, because my plan was to exactly
Make you think just that.
Fascism is easy with eyes closed
And if you give it a good beat
And your homes are nice’n’cosy
Sound shoes warming your cold feet.
I tampered with your moral compass
You’re marching down the dead end lane
Singing songs in praise of yourself
You don’t hear the midnight train.

Think it won’t happen here?
Where have you been, my dear?

If I gave you a million guesses to guess me
You would still give in
Get your finger crawling along my calling card
I’M THE ENEMY WITHIN
I’M THE ENEMY WITHIN

Like flyshit, I’m invisible, omnipresent
Coursing through your veins
Strangling your imagination
Locking the cells of your brain.
Causing sex, class and race conflicts
That’s how I keep control
Ignorance is the global currency
Or didn’t you know?

I’m the master of the quintuple bluff
And I decide if and when you’ve had enough

If I gave you a million guesses to guess me
You would still give in
Get your finger crawling along my calling card
I’M THE ENEMY WITHIN
I’M THE ENEMY WITHIN
