Beautiful Enemy |
| I saw your flag |
| Another star, another stripe |
| What’s your new bag? |
| Something real or just some hype |
| Tell me, what have you sown |
| Have you prospered and grown? |
| Why shouldn’t you have your moments of genius |
| Just because our alliance broke with no |
| Civil words between us |
| Oh, my beautiful enemy, beautiful |
| I send my scorn and ridicule |
| You’re not innocent |
| No, not innocent |
| No one’s innocent |
| My nation’s grand |
| Your name’s not on any signs |
| It’s so well-planned |
| And well-groomed and yet sometimes |
| The past tornadoes through |
| People talk about you |
| Can’t they see that your reign |
| Is steely and torturous? |
| I start thinking that I am sinking |
| Inside a hollow fortress |
| Oh, my enemy, beautiful enemy |
| My stride is slowed by memory but |
| Not innocent |
| No, not innocent |
| No one’s innocent |
| In my furies I’ve dreamed |
| That juries denounce you |
| There I stand with the upper hand |
| But in order to trounce you |
| I just keep getting above myself |
| I just keep getting above myself |
| And so I’m worried but as I stated |
| Things can be complicated, but |
| You’re my enemy |
| You’re my enemy |
| You’re my enemy |
| The future’s bright |
| There are new things we will love |
| It feels so right |
| Let’s not make up or rise above |
| Yes, we are more corrupted |
| Happy and productive |
| We’ll both live in our worlds of civilized |
| People |
| Though I’ve heard that my brand new church |
| Has a slightly higher steeple |
| Oh, my enemy, beautiful enemy |
| Hail to your vast hegemony |
| You’re not innocent |
| I’m not innocent |
| No one’s innocent |
| Oh, my enemy, beautiful enemy |
| Hail to your vast hegemony |
| You’re not innocent |
| I’m not innocent |
| No one’s innocent |
