Police lines surrounding the streets
Like a long dark and shiny snake
Every song is lost to the scream of the rotor blades
Somebody says the enemy has your face
I say it's just you and I ready to wipe the place
Of the blind men and the freaks, of the weepers and the weak
Of the givers who have been left with nothing more to give
Time after time in this long cruel street
Time after time I saw the enemy
So close to each other but still divided by mud
By that line of blood that goes way back
Through greed and lies
It's so easy proving yourself unfair
And in the darkness you think you're always there
You're a dreamer in a dream, you're so fragile, you're so mean
You're a giver who has been left with nothing more to give
Through this night your sympathy's unreal
Time after time in this long cruel street
Time after time I saw the enemy
Like a long dark and shiny snake
Every song is lost to the scream of the rotor blades
Somebody says the enemy has your face
I say it's just you and I ready to wipe the place
Of the blind men and the freaks, of the weepers and the weak
Of the givers who have been left with nothing more to give
Time after time in this long cruel street
Time after time I saw the enemy
So close to each other but still divided by mud
By that line of blood that goes way back
Through greed and lies
It's so easy proving yourself unfair
And in the darkness you think you're always there
You're a dreamer in a dream, you're so fragile, you're so mean
You're a giver who has been left with nothing more to give
Through this night your sympathy's unreal
Time after time in this long cruel street
Time after time I saw the enemy
