about

This is the only track on the album where Colm had the music and liam put the vocal melody and lyrics over it. The song is about the industrial war complex, divide and conquer politics and greed.

lyrics

Freedom of the press that isnt free
They pick and choose what they want you to see
They hide the truth and lie through their teeth
Manipulating your own beliefs

They keep us fighting
They keep us divided
What really frights them
Is if we're all united

They spin light on the killing machines
They keep in the dark the innocent screams
Pointing blame to a different creed
Instead of those infected with a bloody greed

They keep us fighting
They keep us divided
What really frights them
Is if we're all united

Black is the enemy
Brown is the enemy
Red is the enemy
You are the enemy
I am the enemy
We need another enemy
To keep the money making war machine running steadily
