"We Are Not The Enemy"(c) sometime before I was 20

Somebody always comes out the loser.
They must not really know how to play
Thinkin' if they stayed here very much longer
in going home they would surely lose their way
but tell me what you think you saw?
That would make you want to leave it all

There's gotta be another way
got to be another reason
for another day
Somehow we forgot to believe
that we are not the enemy

Little Jack sittin in a corner
watin' for somebody to buy him dinner
or give him money for a pair of shoes
Saying: "Hey! Can. you spare me a dime?
Maybe gimme just a little time? To tell. you how I would up here
you know I used to be a lot like you qnd
I can't watch it any longer
When it's late at night I go home
I make sure that I lock my doors
and

There had got to be a better way
got to be a better reason
for another day
Somehow we forgot to believe
that we are not the enemy

(instrumental break)

I see an angry old man
I see a tired old man
but he's livin' in a young boy's skin
Ain't it funny we can go to the moon
down here things aint runnin' too smooth
And i see it's getting late
you're gettig old and
it's much too soon
and

Can you tell me what it is you saw?
That would make you want to leave it all

There's had gotta be better way
got to be better reason
for another day
Somehow we forgot to believe
that we are not the enemy

We are not the enemy
We are not the enemy
We are not the enemy
tell me what you think you saw?
That would make you want to leave it all
There's had gotta be better way
got to be better reason
for another day
Somehow we forgot to believe
that we are not the enemy
We are not the enemy
We are not the enemy
