lyrics

it seems
you'll probably need to run
'cuz they always
make you shake their hand
only tell you what you want to hear
they always make their motives
seem so pure

to stockpile enemies
to stockpile enemies
you became a follower
staring down a foe

you think you found a working plan
you think you're gonna get cut in

and when that's done
you'll need to run

I was once just like you
I was once like you
I did what you do
I hunted for reasons to

to stockpile enemies
to stockpile enemies
territory wronged
territory wronged again

who wouldn't want a cunning plan
who wouldn't want to be cut in

and when that's done
you'll need to run
