Hey! Oh, Mr. Back-Stabbin'-Son-of-a-Bitch You're livin' in a world that'll soon be dyin' And I know Everybody knows you try to be like me But even at your best as a man You couldn't equal half of me I am realizing That everybody's lost their simple ways And now that it's here, I see it oh-so clearly I've come face to face with the enemy Oh, the enemy You! You're another shit talkin' punk to me You're a living inspiration for what I never wanna be I see you've been blinded by what you believe Now back up and sit down, shut up and act like you need to be I am realizing That everybody's lost their simple ways And now that it's here, I see it oh-so clearly I've come face to face with the enemy Oh, the enemy Come to me The enemy So predicting, you're the reason why I lie Simple decision took me too much time to fly Oh, check mate! I am realizing That everybody's lost their simple ways And now that it's here, I see it oh-so clearly I've come face to face with the enemy Oh, the enemy
