Listener - Enemy Mine lyrics

[Verse 1: sintax.the.terrific] Looking in the mirror to measure my competition And it's clear that I better bring my 'A' game against him Tall, gray, and lithesome, making a king's income Fool for himself, thinking he brings wisdom Never been drinking, brags about his virtue Doesn't realize that conceit's a liquor too Have you ever seen a slicker dude, knows a trick or two He thinks he's complicated when he says he's making simple moves A flirt in his smile, show you what his dimples do Knows that he can prosper putting people in a gentle mood Windblown look, but his fade is too solid Wears a co*ktail of pomade cream and gel product Acts like a pacifist, talks like an activist But hasn't walked a picket line and isn't that compa**ionate Preaches Christ adamant, but really loves to mock God's children as they stumble in the TV that he watch Reps hip hop, but speaks with forced street slang Like maybe you took a course in how to freestyle, mang Sometimes, I feel like I'm fighting a phantom A bantam weight boxer with the heavyweight champion Dancing in my corner to tackle the enemy And just see if me is up for battling me [Hook] We don't know if you could ever come against We don't know if you could ever We don't know if you could We don't know [Verse 2: Listener] Some people ? without keys Using tongues as swords and cutting teeth on your truly Breaking phrases into words used as bullets, not band-aids Tech nines for tourniquets, hand grenades for handshakes Begging for the truth, but never waiting for the answers Too scared of radiation and too fond of growing cancers Let's fix our bayonets and take a stab at getting better And throw in our two cents without having to talk about the weather We can inject pa**ion and not poison when we're making noise And affect the world without boredom with mourning in the morning What a novel idea and honey I'm still writing Stock up on forks, pull up a chair and don't stop fighting Your train of thought is late and we're demanding a full refund We're staying in tonight baby, cause there's nothing on but reruns [Hook]
