My Heart, My Enemy

My Heart, My Enemy

Randy
(album: Welfare Problems)

never ever has nobody like me caused empires to fall
i never hit, i never kicked, i never injured anybody in anyway at all
the only battles i fought were the ones inside my own four walls
i fired bullets of words, names that i called that only made you feel small

and every time the shit hits the fan, i´ll be gone away with the band
a life with love and a love for the van don´t always go hand in hand

but the beat won´t go away, in my heart, my enemy
all the same if i go or if i stay

new countries, new cities, new streets but never did i see them alone
me and the boys go 24-7 through 24 different time zones
in times like these nothing scares me more than the sound of a ringing telephone
bad news i can tell on the voice that it´s a message from an unhappy home

sometimes i´ll be happy, happy and ecstatic
but more likely i´ll be drunk and dramatic
truces were few and far between
it´s been that way since we were seventeen

(unpaid bills, times that we spill, don´t you know those pills can get you killed)

but the beat won´t go away, in my heart my enemy
all the same if i go or if i stay
