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 run 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   turning inward to our own detriment   forgetting the message 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 hero's 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 heros 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
