Public Enemy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am an enemy
Of everything you stand for!
All of your injustices
That keep me locked in this
Prison held tight with steel bars
Corrupt laws and crooked smiles
We’re always fighting to be our own
In a world we can't call home
Who the fuck do you think you are
To tell me how to live my life
You're on your own but you're not alone
We're not alone
You're not alone
I'm always on the outside looking in
One of these days you're gonna watch me win
You have no mind of your own
One day you'll end up alone
I know that someday you'll all end up on your own
Another cog in the system
Another one of societies drones
You live your life without a purpose yet you try criticizing me
But no one is gonna give a fuck about how cool you are
When you've been left to bleed
Well here I am just the shadow of a man
I'm always trying to make sense of this
As I wear my emotions cut on my wrists
Can't you see what this shit does to us?
Now you're just another person that I don't trust
I hope that someday you'll see what you are
I find it hard to believe we'll make it out
Who the fuck do you think you are
To tell me how to live my life
You're on your own but you're not alone
We're not alone
You're not alone
I'm always on the outside looking in
One of these days you're gonna watch me win
You have no mind of your own
One day you'll end up alone
I know that someday you'll all end up on your own
Another cog in the system
Another one of societies drones
You live your life without a purpose yet you try criticizing me
But no one is gonna give a fuck about how cool you are
When you've been left to bleed
