Anatomy Of Your Enemy lyrics

Artist  : Anti Flag 
Song : Anatomy Of Your Enemy
 
10 easy steps to create an enemy and start a war:
Listen closely because we will all see this
weapon used in our lives.
It can be used on a society of the most ignorant
to the most highly educated.
We need to see their tactics as a weapon against
humanity and not as truth.

First step: create the enemy.  Sometimes this
will be done for you.

Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is
nothing like you.
Find obvious differences like race, language,
religion, dietary habits
fashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not
doing a job,
they are heatless murderers who enjoy killing!

Third step: Once these differences are
established continue to reinforce them
with all disseminated information. 

Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the
ruling party's information 
this can be done through state run media.
Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit
media repeats the ruling party's information.
Therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run.

Fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem
strange, militant, or different.
Always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a
killing machine.

CHORUS: THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY.  THIS IS
HOW TO START A WAR.  
THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY.  

Sixth step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling
party.
Create an "Us versus Them" mentality.
Leave no room for opinions in between.
One that does not support all actions of the
ruling party should be considered a traitor.

Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious
symbols and rhetoric to define all actions.
This can be achieved by slogans such as
"freedom loving people versus those who hate
freedom."
This can also be achieved by the use of flags.

Eighth step: Align all actions with the dominant
deity.
It is very effective to use terms like, "It
is god's will" or "god bless our
nation."

Ninth step: Design propaganda to show that your
soldiers
have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones.
Make it cleat that your soldiers are doing a
duty; they do not want or like to kill.

Tenth step: Create and atmosphere of fear, and
instability
and then offer the ruling party as the only
solutions to comfort the public's fears.
Remembering the fear of the unknown is always the
strongest fear.

CHORUS (repeat); We are not countries.  We are
not nations.  We are not religions.
We are not gods.  We are not weapons.  We are not
ammunition.  We are not killers.
We will NOT be tools.

I'm not a f**ker
I will not die
I will not kill
I will not be your slave
I will not fight your battle
I will not die on your battlefield
I will not fight for your world
I am not a fighter
I'm in UNITYYY!!!
