My Enemies are Dead

It's considered wrong to judge a book by its cover, but sometimes you should
Especially when colleagues and family are up to no good
Blind-sided by a freight train
The cargo is full of snakes
They think that they've dished out the pain
But they've really just planned their own wake

You keep your friends close
You keep your enemies fed
I keep my friends close
My enemies are dead

My enemies are dead
My enemies are dead
My enemies are dead
My enemies stay dead

You think you've got all of the answers
Society has changed all of the questions
Pretentious kindness doesn't transfer
It's eventually met with aggression

You keep your friends close
You keep your enemies fed
I keep my friends close
My enemies are dead
