We Invent Enemies

from The Eve of Invasion by The Narrows

/

lyrics

It doesn’t seem to me to make any sense
to spend 3 billion a week in defence. You lied.
Did no one listen here to Eisenhower
about the disastrous use of misplaced power? You lied. For every army that you send on a surge
there’s guiltless blood that you are willing to purge.
You lied.

My enemy is the little voice that lives inside of me.
It tells me to kill everything and not admit defeat.

A baby’s body in an outline of chalk;
a direct consequence of Tomahawk. You lied.
It breathes, it loves, it falls, it moves, it hates,
it never, ever fucking hesitates. You lied.
Yes, you lied.
