True Enemy (feat. John Thompson)

Freedom is wrapped within their clutches once again And they're clawing and they're feeding on your virtue from within You take liberty for granted and they will take it away Whilst you claim your fellow man's the one to blame The norms they'll put in place but never rationally explain Their fingers cling only to selfish gain They feed upon your misery Promising you sanctuary Relish in the insanity And silence those who dare to speak The lies that they weave They're blinding you and me Unable to see The true enemy Wash away tradition put madness in its place And drain away the tried and true to save your own face The fear and the violence they leave in their wake Distract and deflect from what's really at stake The norms they'll put in place but never rationally explain They'll never rationally explain Their fingers cling only to selfish gain They feed upon your misery Promising you sanctuary Relish in the insanity And silence those who dare to speak The lies that they weave They're blinding you and me Unable to see The true enemy Pointing the finger they mark the oppressed They lead a future where mankind will retrogress Making a tyranny under the sun With liberty and justice for none The norms they'll put in place but never rationally explain Moving the goalposts again only for selfish gain They feed upon your misery Promising you sanctuary Relish in the insanity And silence those who dare to speak The lies that they weave They're blinding you and me Unable to see The true enemy
