Don’t Let Your Enemies Get You to Hate Your Friends

(Music & Lyrics: Ackerson)
Don’t let your enemies get you to hate your friends
These lessons from high school come back around again
In the minds of the assholes, we’re just a means to an end
So don’t let your enemies get you to hate your friends

Our house is burning down
And I’ve tried my best to fight the flames
I’ve searched for loved ones, called their names
But they have run off to their rooms

To hide out underneath their beds
Praying for a miracle
So impotently spiritual
And ultimately doomed

Don’t let your enemies get you to hate your friends
These lessons from high school come back around again
In the minds of the assholes, we’re just a means to their ends
So don’t let your enemies get you to hate your friends

That old familiar song
My country ’tis of thee
Reject the brave, enslave the free
And yet we sing it still

Our country’s burning down
And we’re taught to think we’ve lost the right
To band together, stand and fight
When we’ve only lost the will

Don’t let your enemies get you to hate your friends
These lessons from grade school come back around again
In the schemes of the assholes, we’re just a means to their ends
So don’t let your enemies get you to hate your friends

Our lives are burning down
But please like my fucking Facebook page
As I learn to monetize my rage
Or bury it within

‘Cause the things we’ve heard, the things we’ve read
Teach us not to take the call
Till it’s all for no one, none for all
And then the assholes win
