Who's The Enemy? (feat. Gabriel O Pensador)

Did ya ever notice that governments of the globe

Try to generalize each other as friend or foe?

But what is a country, but a dividing wire

Of who pays taxes to which vampires?

Just try to see that folk that live in tyranny

Ain't anymore the enemy than you or than me

I remember back when I was fourteen

Of the news on TV and of the films on the screen

Tried to have us all hatin' the Soviet Union

The Evil Empire, I believe was their slogan

But later on, when the heat began to cool

Russian exchange students arrived at our school

They dug computer games, rock and hip-hop

Studied hard, drank like fish, smoked a lot of pot

Two brainy dudes and four goddess like girls

Didn't exactly look to me like, Enemy Of The World

Is this the enemy?

Is this the real enemy?

Don't look like the enemy

Now tell me who's the enemy

I learned once, now I try to unlearn

That some countries' flags should be shredded and burned

But I live in a country which by force of fate

Has developed a culture of more love than hate

It's a country where people vote peace, not war

And where any foreigner finds an open door

Here we have many colors and many religions

Many ways of seeing things and of thinking these visions

But sometimes you just see what they shove in your eye

And the easiest way of thinking is believing a lie

That's why some accept the unacceptable

And soldiers go, where no one has to go

And leaders tell just what they want us to know

But where the hell is the real truth they never show?

Talking about hell, where does the devil reside?

And in a war, how come God has to choose one side?

Don't be fooled by your pride, when a guy with no wisdom

Wants to be a super hero in the name of freedom

Even sacred words can be excuses for killing

What you really want to know is

Who's the real villian?

Is this the enemy?

Is this the real enemy?

Don't look like the enemy

Now tell me who's the enemy

The commander-in chiefs of this planet

Put the population control on automatic

By planting the the seeds of hate in our lands

And watering the seeds with propaganda

Among the black, the brown, yellow, red, and the white

The Muslim, the Hindu, Christian and Israelite

But the enemies of The Man, ain't my enemies

Just individuals trying to make ends meet

So please, don't believe everything you hear and see

Ulterior motives runs miles and miles deep

Basic need became basic greed

Globalizing economy, while ignoring ecology?

Bombs kill folk and pollute the air both

Eradicate species, but guarantee market growth

Got money for arms, but not for schools and medicine?

Now you tell me, who's got the enemy doctrine?

Is this the enemy?

Is this the real enemy?

Don't look like the enemy

Now tell me who's the enemy

Who is the victim here?

Who is the one I fear?

Who is the one I blame?

Who puts the world in shame?

Who makes the world insane?

Who makes the bombing rain?

Who makes me cry in pain?

Who makes me die in vain?

Who's chasing who?

You better think twice

Who's the hunter? Who's the hunted?

Who are the cats? Who are the mice?

I see politicians, how they speak so nice

I see how suspiciously they roll the dice

I see how they lie and control our lives

I see, I see they're just cold like ice

I simply can't stand all this sacrifice

In the name of the law, when the laws are lies

Don't rely on those who preach that same old speech

That many should be poor, so one or two can be rich

I've been walking and talking across the five continents

I've seen hunger and humility, anger and arrogance

The more I see

The more I feel this shame

The more I see we're different

The more I feel we are all the same

I've seen a lot places, a lot of faces

A lot of so-called races of humanity in front of me

I've seen some pictures on the wall

And on the TV screen

But I still haven't seen the real enemy

Is this the enemy?

Is this the real enemy?

Don't look like the enemy

Now tell me who's the enemy
