[00:00.00] 作词 : Williams
[00:07.71] I saw your flag
[00:11.39] another star, another stripe
[00:13.83] What's your new bag?
[00:17.31] Something real or just some hype?
[00:19.95] Tell me what have you sown
[00:23.64] Have you prospered and grown?
[00:26.43] Why shouldn't you have
[00:27.97] Your moments of genius?
[00:31.90] Just because our alliance broke
[00:34.80] With no civil words between us?
[00:38.43] Oh, my beautiful enemy, beautiful
[00:41.27] I send my scorn and ridicule
[00:44.40] You're not innocent
[00:45.95] No, not innocent, no one's innocent
[00:51.28] My nation's grand
[00:54.71] Your name's not on any signs
[00:57.40] It's so well-planned
[01:00.90] And well groomed and yet sometimes
[01:03.53] The past tornadoes through
[01:07.39] people talk about you
[01:09.33] Can't they see that
[01:10.82] your rein is steely and torturous?
[01:16.00] I start thinking that
[01:17.11] I am sinking
[01:18.30] Inside a hollow fortress
[01:21.98] Oh, my enemy, beautiful enemy
[01:24.82] My stride is slowed by memory
[01:27.95] But not innocence, no not innocent
[01:31.15] No one's innocent
[01:36.10] In my furies I've dreamed
[01:37.79] That juries denounce you
[01:42.36] There I stand with the upper hand
[01:44.79] But in order to trounce you
[01:47.99] I just keep getting above myself
[01:51.27] I just keep getting above myself
[01:54.21] And so I'm worried but as
[01:56.35] I've stated
[01:57.95] Things can be complicated
[02:00.59] But you're my enemy
[02:02.13] You're my enemy
[02:03.72] You're my enemy
[02:07.65] The future's bright
[02:11.15] There are new things we will love
[02:14.18] It feels so right
[02:16.93] Let's not make up or rise above
[02:19.86] Yes, we are more corrupted
[02:23.63] but happy and productive
[02:26.12] We'll both live in our worlds
[02:27.96] of civilized people
[02:30.89] Though I've heard that
[02:33.29] my brand new churc
[02:36.48] Has a slightly higher steeple
[02:50.84][02:39.17] Oh my enemy, beautiful enemy
[02:53.77][02:41.01] Hail to your vast hegemony
[02:56.91][02:44.19] You're not innocent,
[02:58.46][02:45.54] I'm not innocent
[03:00.15][02:47.19] No one's innocent
