enemy of the month

[Intro – Mock news anchors, overlapping voices]

"Tonight’s top story: fear.
Again. But newer.
And this time — it looks like you.”
[Verse 1 – Spoken/snide over punk riff & distorted samples]

They sold you fear like it came on tap
Labeled a scapegoat, printed the map
Changed the name, kept the threat
“New danger rises!” (same silhouette)

Front page panic — dressed in flames
Rinse, repeat, rename the blame
Angry mouths on every screen
Pick a target, make it mean
[Pre-Chorus – Shouted, building]

Fear sells fast
Hate sells more
Who needs truth
When you’ve got war?
[Chorus – Gang vocals + screamed lead]

Enemy of the month! Who’s next?!
Turn the page, tighten the hex
Burn the mask, change the name
Keep the fear — it’s all the same

Enemy of the month! Step right up!
Lick the boots, then drink the cup
Anger served in easy chunks
Manufactured, fed, and sunk
[Verse 2 – Snarled delivery]

Ten headlines deep — you’ve found your foe
A threat invented a week ago
"They’re dangerous!" the anchors cry
Then sell the merch before the lie

Scroll the script, rehearse the hate
Ignore the chains behind the gate
You’re not safer, just more numb
But you cheered when the crackdowns come
[Bridge – glitchy news samples, sarcastic commentary]

“Protecting your freedom...”
“They look like us, but think differently...”
“We can’t allow dissent in times like these...”
[Breakdown – Screamed, chaotic]

Facts on fire — rage for rent!
Divide, distract, then circumvent!
Pick your fear, your scapegoat toy —
While they bleed you silent, girl and boy!
[Final Chorus – Even faster, more unhinged]

Enemy of the month! Can’t you see?!
You’re next in line for the machine
Build the mob, scream the lie
Vote the noose with a battle cry
[Outro – Spoken, calm, corporate tone]

"Thank you for your outrage.
Please stay tuned for next week’s enemy.
Terms may apply."
