Lyrics
Enemy of the People
All words: Daniel Oliver

I?m an enemy of the people.
I?m a really scary creep.
I?m an enemy of the people
Cuz I refuse to be a sheep.
I refuse to follow orders.
I refuse to fall in line.
I refuse to let you take from me
The things that I call mine.
I?m an enemy of the people.
I refuse to kiss your feet.
I refuse to turn a blind eye
To the terror in the street.
I?m an enemy of the people
And there?s a price upon my head.
You know that I?m a threat to you.
That?s why you want me dead.
(chorus)
We're living with this madness.
We struggle for freedom.
The anger leads to sadness.
Don't like what we've become.
I?m an enemy of the people,
And I refuse to be your slave.
I?m an enemy of the people.
I?m gonna put you in your grave.
There?s one thing that I?ve got to do
Before this joke is through
I?m gonna make sure that the people know
That the enemy is you.
(extended chorus)
We're living with this madness.
We struggle for freedom.
The anger leads to sadness.
Don't like what we've become.
Your savior is your hatred.
You think that I'm your enemy.
Look out! The might decide I'm right.
Now there's no more sympathy.
(rant)
Your tentacle is wound
Around my mind
But all I need to do
Is bide my time
You better watch your back
Your hands are gonna fumble
Your help is gonna leave you
Your might is gonna crumble
Don?t tell me what to think
Don?t tell me what to do
You?re standing at the brink
I?m coming after you
(repeat first verse during fade out)
