lyrics

When they sharpen their knives
And dream of what to use them for
When they sharpen their knives
And dream of what to use them for

To start new wars
That settle old scores
To take what's yours
Their greed for more

That's why they sharpen their knives

With a pocket full of hate
And the keys to the kingdom
They'll promise the earth
Make everything great again

But the fix is in
The fight is rigged
They've stacked the odds
Misplaced you bids

The fix is in
The fight is rigged
They've stacked the odds
Misplaced you bid

The future is all yours
Don't go easy on your enemy
They'll sell your prospects short
Don't go easy on your enemy
The future is all yours
Don't go easy on your enemy
They'll sell your prospects short
Don't go easy on your enemy

Eyes roll back in their heads
As they take another bite
Hijack your cause
And shift the spotlight

Don't get numb
Don't switch off
Yell out in pain
And call their bluff

Don't get numb
Don't switch off
Yell out in pain
And call their bluff

The future is all yours
Don't go easy on your enemy
They'll sell your prospects short
Don't go easy on your enemy
The future is all yours
Don't go easy on your enemy
They'll sell your prospects short
Don't go easy on your enemy
