The Enemy Lyrics by Godsmack

IV

2006

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey! Oh, Mr. Backstabbin' Son of a Bitch
You're livin' in a world that'll soon be dyin'
And I know (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

[Chorus]
I am realizin' that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that it's here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy

[Verse 2]
You! (You) you're another shit-talkin' punk to me
You're a living inspiration for what I never wanna be
And I see (I see) you've been blinded by what you believe
And now back up, and sit down, shut up, and act like you need to be

[Chorus]
I am realizin' that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that it's here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh, the enemy

[Bridge]
Come to me, come to me
The enemy, come to me, come to me

[Verse 3]
So predicting, you're the reason why I lie
Simple decision took me too much time to fly
Oh, checkmate! (Checkmate, checkmate)

[Chorus]
I am realizin' that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that it's here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh, the enemy

[Outro]
Come to me
