"Have you noticed that America's on fire?"
Contemporary Folk Songs of Protest

“I'm the Enemy”
Written and performed by SONiA Rutstein

I never wanted a catastrophe
But I called my mom, she said, "Turn on your TV."
Suddenly, everything was changed
The sky is raining with four burned planes

Yeah, I'm the enemy
Because I've got a color TV and I'm an American, too
Yeah, I'm the enemy
Go to work, pay bills, try to support my family
Thank God for freedom in red, white and blue

And I don't want to go to war
But it seems that violence has blown off my door
And I think of my little ones in bed asleep
And how I'd do anything to keep them safe and free

Yeah, I'm the enemy
Because I've got a color TV, I'm part Muslim and Christian and Jew
Yeah, I'm a double whammy
Take your aim, I'm suicide candy
Thank God for freedom in red, white and blue

(Hebrew line, followed by Arabic line)
Living all together

And if I am not for me, then who am I?
And if I am only for me, then what am I?
If not now, then when?
In six thousand years, have we learned anything?

Yeah, I'm the enemy
Because I've got a color TV and I'm an American, too
Yeah, I'm the enemy
If you free the lambs, what will the lambs eat?
Thank God for freedom in red, white and blue
And green, and gold, and purple, and ochre... (etc.)
