lyrics

I am the enemy, I wear my hair long
Each voice I listen to is a new act of war
And I'm under surveillance, they're after me, ma
I'm afraid I have taken to screening my calls

I don't wanna die for this land's faded glory
Or even the freedom they hardly allow me
Some asshole could pick my name out of a fishbowl
At least I can choose the cigarettes that I smoke

I'm starting to see, now, the power of many
You've shown us your muscles and you've used your big words
But I won't hold my breath for some plain-spoken savior
Dys- or utopia, whichever comes first

Each beer is a time machine and I'm looking forward
I place all the empties in recycling bins
I'm long dead and gone but my trash still remains
So I'll take that coffee to go, if you will

I don't know my place on this struggling planet
I stand like a ghost before the governor's hall
I walk in the woods now, got dirt down my t-shirt
The trees are all screaming at me "Get a job!"

Don't follow the enemy, you'll find yourself lost
