It was like waking from a bad dream
All that screaming in the past
And now I know things
Ain't what they seem
This old dream is gonna last a long time
Was it something
That I could have said?
Mama change your mind
Get out of your head
I could never be your enemy
(enemy enemy)
But now I just can't be your friend
Now I see you'll be the end of me
(enemy enemy)
If I don't try and defend myself
Oooh
The sun is out
I hear the children play
They clutch their clarinets as
The bus takes them away
The concrete's burning
In the winter time
They don't believe me
There's no reason to your rhyme
They said that up
Is down instead
Daddy how did you get that in your head?
I could never be your enemy
(enemy enemy)
But now I just can't be your friend
Now I see you'll be the end of me
(enemy enemy)
If I don't try and defend myself
Oooh
Hold your honey close
It's going down
They made him king
But they forgot the crown
Please pass the salt
But don't you say a word
Jump in the lion's den
There's gonna be a fight on
Mama taught me
Right from wrong
But we've been strangers
All along
I could never be your enemy
(enemy enemy)
But now I just can't be your friend
Now I see you'll be the end of me
(enemy enemy)
If I don't try and defend myself
Oooh
