[Verse 1]
Am
Well the dawn is howling and the mainframe shakes

Am
Feel like I've been sleeping in a cellar full of snakes

D                                                             Am
My wings have been clipped  and my shoes have been stuck with glue

C                          Em                 Am
Well if you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too
[Verse 2]
Am
Now I've got goons on my landing thieves on my trail

Am
Nazis on my telephone willing me to fail

D                                                            Am
They were all sent by someone (obviously well I know it was) you!

C                          Em                 Am
Well if you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too
[Verse 3]
Am
I've a bucketful of Babylon I got a handful of lead

Am
I'm gonna put them in a gun man point it at your head

D                                                            Am
Because you stole all my friends and you gave me the buffalo blues

Am
Now from the slime on your tongue to the nails on your toes

Am
From the scales on your skin to the stains on your clothes

D                                                Am
You're gonna have to make me do something that I do not want to do

C                         Em                 Am
But if you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too
[Outro]
Am
My hands are tied I'm nailed to the floor

Am
Feel like I'm knocking on the unknown door

Am
There's a gun at my back a blade at my throat

Am
I keep finding hate mail in the pockets of my coat

Am
Well I've been trying to grow I been cooling my heels

Am
I've have been working the treadmill I've been working in the fields

Am
And I can't get to sleep I can't catch my breath

Am
I can't stop talking and I look like death

D                                                   Am
But I will put right this disgrace I will rearrange you

C                          Em            Am
If you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too

C                          Em            Am
if you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too

C                          Em            Am
                           Be my enemy!
