    Story Behind the Song
    I've heard all the arguments for and against war. This song doesn't make an argument but does acknowledge this severely disturbing side of the human condition. Whatever your political views, I invite you to place yourself for a moment in the middle of the shock and confusion in this song's soldier character now that "war's broken out in the funhouse," and "a thousand truths fit on the head of a pin."

    Scott's musical interpretation of the constant intensity plus sudden shock of war is all over this track, as Hendrix achieved with "Machine Gun."

    Lyrics
    A war's broken out in the funhouse
    Targets painted in the mirror hall
    Explode into shards of confusion
    Embedded wit trust behind unproven walls

    Dodging the bullets of jokers
    I'm hunting for aces in a deck of cards
    Streaming the view from the frontline
    Yet the frontline may be in our own backyard

    I can't turn away from the glaring
    In the eyes of such desperate hate
    Am I taking control of my future
    Or am I just taking the bait?

    Chorus:
    Enemy of my enemy
    I've gone out on a limb to defend
    Enemy of my enemy
    I may never know if he's a friend

    Enemy of my enemy
    On his actions and words I depend
    Enemy of my enemy
    He may turn on me in the end

    Treading through deepening trouble
    When the eyes of the world may decide who will win
    Digging for facts in the rubble
    When a thousand truths fit on the head of a pin

    I feel like we keep going through this
    The more mankind changes, the more it's the same
    From our minds can spring lifesaving powers
    Still we want bigger weapons, we crave bigger flames

    I can't turn away from the glaring
    In the eyes of such desperate hate
    Am I taking control of my future
    Or am I just taking the bait?

    Chorus
