My Enemy

I know my enemy

I’ve seen them before

I know my enemy

I’ve had them on the floor

My enemy knows me

Better than most

My enemy knows me

They want me to be toast

We have fought for years

Over any trivial thing

We have fought for years

Wanting to be king

I have won, I have lost

When it mattered a lot

I have won, I have lost

When it mattered not a jot

Now I’m old and worn I wonder

Will we ever stop fighting?

Now I’m old and worn I wonder

Will we ever stop smiting?

I know my enemy

It is obvious to see

I know my enemy

My enemy is me
