[Intro]
Look out for yourself, oh!

[Verse 1]
I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around, with my ear up to the ground
I'm searchin' to behold the stories that are told
When my back was to the world that was smilin' when I turned

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us

[Chorus]
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy-y-y-y-y
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy-y-y-y-y (Look, look, look, look)
(Look out for yourself)
But I'm ready

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Your words up on the wall as you're prayin' for my fall
And the laughter in the halls and the names that I've been called
I stack it in my mind, and I'm waitin' for the time
When I show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us

[Chorus]
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy-y-y-y-y (Look, look, look, look)
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy-y-y-y-y (Look, look, look, look; yeah)
(Look out for yourself)

[Verse 3]
They say pray it away
I swear, that I'll never be a saint, no way
A chair in the corner is a place I stay
I shake and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play
And the kids in the dark that were doomed from the start
The child in the basement, face to the pavement
Oh, what a statement, love is embracement
Love is a constant, love is a basis
He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be changed
But keep on praying
Goodbye
[Chorus]
Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy (Ah)
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Oh, the misery (Ah)
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy (Ah)
Everybody wants to be my enemy (yooooo!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
They say pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint, no way
My enemy
They say pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint
They say pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint, no way
They say pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint
(Look out for yourself)
