lyrics

Been taking on the nemesis
Ever since the genesis
Now I’ve had enough of this
Listen to me scorn it
Don’t want to see the foe persist
Truth is that he can’t resist
Yeah I’ve had enough of this
I’m taking down the hornet

Rapidly the gallery of other people’s flaws
Ignominy recorded by lords of keeping scores
Extends a couple of hundred feet and through another door
Enticing me for sure, I’d be a bore to not explore
Scrolling down and looking around and going to town on errors
Decrying with a frown thanks to trigger happy sharers
Catch a click of this clown, muster your derision
Thank the gods of judgmentalism for their provision
Not-so-subtle satisfaction, flash reaction
Crass laughs of a faction, it’s just distraction
Drags me back from real action, the more I linger
The stronger the urge to sling mud and point a finger
Time to rearrange, set the stage for actual change
When you win genuine turns of the page
Shut down the rage, back off the mess
Something in myself that I need to address

This is what I found out, sounds like a law
Every time I want to win, got to wage a war
See the signs, understand, evil lies close at hand
Talons of a tempter knocking on my door
Even when I stay low, try to keep my halo
Can’t escape the question and it’s not easy to say no
So if my own eye tries to lead astray
Not messing about, I’m ripping it out, I’m chucking it away
Today my conscience said to me I’m sleeping with the enemy
Brushing up to toxin like a poisonous anemone
Why do I do what I don’t want to do
But I don’t do what I want to do, you confused too?
Absolutely wretched, don’t wanna stretch it
But this heart’s getting hammered harder than a Gretsch kit
Thank God for rescue, I can take a breath to
Remember that it’s going to be okay - true
