Song#: 20
Album 37) What do you say?
Name of Song: What do you say to your enemy?
Enemies seem to stir,
Urges to fight back,
Do you fight them with your words,
Do you launch a sneak attack.
How do you deal with enemies,
Depends how big and strong,
Depends on what the law allows,
Which goes on way too long.
People like an opponent,
Then someone’s hurt or killed,
What do you say to their mother when
they lie in blood you spilled.
No one wins in violence,
Try it and you’ll see,
Short term wins is all you get,
Then shadows replace your being.
Chorus
They found the cause of enemies,
Was someone “in their ear”,
Saying things about you,
So you will never hear.
So hidden from your enemy,
Altered facts about,
What do you say to your enemy?,
Let’s try to work it out.

We forgot the power of talking,
Lawyers get paid for that,
But whatever happened to talking
To find where everyone’s at.
What do you say to your enemy,
What do you say to your friend,
What do you say to your wife or kids,
Let’s try before it all ends.
