| I heard you came to make enemies
|
| (I heard you came to make enemies)
|
| Okay, hand down my penalties
|
| (Okay, hand down my penalties)
|
| Hello, love, today the delegation votes
|
| Today we must determine on who is our future foe
|
| I just left a meeting, I’ve got permission to go
|
| So I choose to use this time to write you a quick note
|
| We’ve really made some progress on pushing through some policies
|
| Dealing with misogyny, boosting up our economy
|
| Removing nationalism and private prisons
|
| Racism, corrupt businesses, bad religion
|
| We prayed to the Lord above, and we asked Him for wisdom
|
| We made some really tough decisions, but I’m glad we did it
|
| But now I’m starting to notice things are changing our behavior
|
| 'Cause every time we meet I think the worst of my neighbors
|
| I feel like our leaders like to argue just for time’s sake
|
| When you have no foes, you create 'em. |
| Why do I hate?
|
| I think I understand all the reasons why you left
|
| And me not listening I’m starting to regret
|
| But it’s hard to leave now, I have authority
|
| One year from seniority, we’ll have a majority
|
| And I’ll change things formally and morally
|
| Already things here are much better for minorities
|
| Just pray for me, I’m tryin' to make a difference
|
| I’m afraid I’m not far from being the opposition
|
| Any time we disagree, they just call it phobia
|
| This is how you silence your critics up in utopia
|
| Hold up, I ain’t feelin' yo' energy
|
| (Hold up, I ain’t feelin' yo' energy)
|
| Those words, they don’t sound like a friend to me
|
| (Those words, they don’t sound like a friend to me)
|
| I heard you came to make enemies
|
| (I heard you came to make enemies)
|
| Okay, hand down my penalties
|
| (Okay, hand down my penalties)
|
| We agree we share the same enemy (get down)
|
| Handshakes, lofty words and subtle winks
|
| Marches in the streets and the cries for peace
|
| Everything was good till they came for me
|
| (Everything, everything was good) till they came for me
|
| (Everything, everything was good) till they came for me
|
| (Everything, everything was good) till they came for me
|
| (Everything, everything was good, get down)
|
| (Hey, talk about utopia)
|
| You askin' bout utopia?
|
| (Is this a safe space?)
|
| I mean, I mean it’s a diverse place
|
| But it’s still monolithic
|
| Because nobody thinks different
|
| (Nobody thinks different)
|
| I would have somebody’s back in the day we would
|
| Try to preserve the traditions of utopia
|
| Others would just look past it, right
|
| So then they told me to run when I wasn’t scared (wasn't scared)
|
| Some told me to look, but there was nothing there (nothing there)
|
| Some would tell me when to sing and clap my hands (clap my hands)
|
| And have like rules for entertainment and how I should dance (dance boy, dance)
|
| I just know there was a problem
|
| Everybody wanted to be royalty
|
| Nobody wanted to be servants
|
| Because the peasants they would become privilege and perverted
|
| But be careful how you share your views
|
| Cause they’ll protest you
|
| We scream «Power to the people, power to the people
|
| Power to the people» (until that power corrupts)
|
| We scream «The system stay evil, the system stay evil, man
|
| Them systems are evil» (until it benefits us)
|
| They tell me «Give to the poor, give money to the poor»
|
| Tell me «Give to the poor» (First I gotta make a little more)
|
| They screamin' peace over war, there’s peace over war
|
| Man there’s peace over war (until they came for yours)
|
| You act like a pig and you dirty up the dishes
|
| You talk like a friend, but you a politician
|
| We deconstruct words until nothing has meaning
|
| Disguise our hate with our political leanings
|
| Because we just don’t like people
|
| We love evil, we say equal
|
| But we really want the power
|
| Exchange your insecurities with ours
|
| I’m afraid this very hour censorship has turned us into cowards
|
| Nothing is pure, everything is a mystery
|
| You’ve got no shame, you rewriting history
|
| My apologies don’t fit in your ideology
|
| You’re trying to build an ideal society
|
| I overestimated my influence
|
| I thought utopia was a place of prudence
|
| I guess I’m foolish
|
| Should I say something, fight back or start running?
|
| Wait, hold up, I think I hear 'em coming |
