The Enemy Is You

Elliott Smith · Other Songs - Elliott Smith

You got your head turned 'round, walking upside down

Through the sunken dream, through the crushing crowd

You don't know what it means, 'cause you're a broken machine

You won't lisp it out, you're dressing up your man



It's all second hand, it's all hindsight

You don't understand, it's just an empty scene

It's still an empty scheme, you wanna block it out

But I know what I'm gonna do with this big doubt



I'm gonna make it go away, when you go walking out in

The rose city without a fucking clue

With an attitude, knowing what you need

What you will not do the enemy is you



You beat up on yourself, 'cause there ain't no one else

Who feels quite as good to put straight through hell

You know yourself well, you know what you're about

Just wanna block it out well, I know what



I'm gonna do with this big doubt

I'm gonna hide my face away block it out

Well, I know what I'm gonna do with this big doubt

I'm gonna make it go away
