from black panthers and the c.i.a.

into a sharp wit with a stupid slag

we've gone and dug our own hole

cause everybody knows

we eat our own

so busy fighting each other

while the real bastards fun for cover

we shoot our own leaders down

before those in power get the chance

so they sit back and laugh

while we destroy ourselves

wake up and shut up

we've become our worst enemy

we've sold

ourselves

out

turning inward to our own detriment

forgetting the message that we were to send

we've lost

count up

victims

roll call

they're all our own

look back at what we've done

drove out the wrong side

kicked sand in our own eyes

with every heroes welcome

is another group on the side

ready to fire

if they step out of line

just one mistake

and jealous hands

claw away

any hope for a better way

you bought it forget it goodbye

so saints be on your toes

and heroes be not proud

because as soon as the people rise

someone will tear you down

wake up and shut up

we've become our worst enemy
