Lyrics

I Am the Enemy Within – Mike Delaney, for FAWM25

I’ve worked for the FDA for thirty years
On cancer drugs for my whole career
I am the enemy within

I tested air bags to make sure they worked
Went the extra measure; I never shirked
I am the enemy within

I worked to keep air and water clean
When there was a major spill, I was on the scene
I am the enemy within

I helped students get an education
And I did it with professional dedication
I am the enemy within

I kept airplanes on safe paths in the sky
I got fired and I don’t know why
I am the enemy within

B-part:
The orange reality TV fake
And his billionaire side-kick friend
Are working to take it all apart
Their destruction has no end

They’ll lower the taxes on their oligarch pals
Pull it off with their evil deeds
And do it while laughing in your face
They don’t care about YOUR needs

I can protest, I can shout
I can make sure it all comes out
I am the enemy within

I can go on TV and spill my guts
I can make sure they know he’s nuts
I am the enemy within

I can leak any secret notes
I can make sure everyone I know votes
I am the enemy within

Another B-part:
Project 2025 is what it’s called
Why were so many hopelessly deceived?
But they stumble as they pull it off
Why are their efforts so misconceived?

We need to make our voices heard
We must act fast; the time is short
We must step up; We must act now
“Hell No!” must be our retort

We are the enemy within
We are the enemy within
We are the enemy within
