Public Enemy

Telling the truth is like the edge of a knife

Hit the wrong nerve it could cost your life

All heard him

Most feared him

The media slants the truth

Said he's the enemy

[Bridge:]

You're a rattle on the snake of democracy

Can a free man speak or is he really not

Just a boil on the ass of all decency

See what King and X got Shot

[Chorus:]

Just a man teaching non-violence

A sign of fear for those who rage free

We want the truth and nothing but the truth

We want the truth and nothing but

Just a man who said let freedom ring

She'd a tear for those who killed me

We want the truth and nothing but the truth

We want the truth and nothing but

Why is it that those who speak of unity

Can't escape the grip of fatality

Pose a threat without the use of deadly force

For those who follow lynched with no remorse

[Bridge / Chorus]

And they marched

Bloody but unbowed

Against the grain

Only the strong survive

Hear the battlecry

We shall overcome

Fight for the dream even when I must die
