Look out for yourself
I wake up to the sounds
of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around
with my ear up to the ground
I'm searchin' to behold
The stories that are told
When my back is to the world
That was smiling when I turned
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us
Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be
my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
my enemy-y-y-y-y
Look out for yourself
My enemy-y-y-y-y
Look out for yourself
But I'm ready
Your words up on the wall
As you're prayin' for my fall
And the laughter in the halls
And the names that I've
been called
I stack it in my mind
And I'm waiting for the time
When I show you what it's like
to be words
Spit in a mic
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn
They hate us
Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be
my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
my enemy-y-y-y-y
Look out for yourself
My enemy-y-y-y-y
Look out for yourself
They say pray it away
I swear
that I'll never be a saint
No way
A chair in the corner
is my place I stay
I shake
And I think about the
powers at play
The powers at play
And the kids in the dark that
were doomed from the start
The child in the basement
Face to the pavement
Oh what a statement
Love is embracement
Love is a constant
Move is a basis
He cannot be she cannot be
They cannot be changed
But keep on praying
Goodbye
Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be
my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
my enemy
Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be
my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
my enemy
Pray it away
I swear
I'll never be a saint no way
My enemy
Pray it away
I swear
I'll never be a saint
Look out for yourself
