Enemy of the Enemy is a Friend (Til he's the enemy again) Babylon is really burning this time coming home to roost on a Soviet landmine Climbing out the subway burning eyes spinning head Walking through the station breaking into a cold sweat Is the ticking time bomb in my head or your bag Have you been snorting white lines with President Gas Crawling from the wreckage of my tumblin' tower block Someone else had to finish the job It was the enemy of the enemy The enemy of the enemy The enemy of the enemy He's a friend Til he's the enemy again Starin' out the window at 50 000 feet At the mercy of the skies there's no escape velocity And as your eyes meet my skin see the terror on your face Do You want it to stop put yourself in their place Where what your life is worth depends on where you live Too many generations down the line to forgive If all you knew was total war from every side You'd have to decide Who's the enemy of the enemy The enemy of the enemy Who's the enemy of the enemy He's a friend til he's the enemy again Choose the enemy Know the enemy Love the enemy Feed the enemy Sleep with the enemy Arm the enemy Sell the enemy Bomb the enemy Keep your friends close Keep your enemies closer
