Our Time Honored Tradition Of Cannibalism Lyrics
from black panthers and the C.I.A.
into a sharp wit with a stupid slag
we've gone and dug our own hole
cause everybody knows
we eat our own
? with the battle at hand
? shooting ourselves in the foot
so busy fighting each other
while the real bastards fun for cover
we shoot our own leaders down
before those in power get the chance
so they sit back and laugh
while we destroy ourselves
wake up and shutup
we've become our worst enemy
wake up and shutup
we've become our worst enemy
we've sold ourselves out
turning inward to our own detriment
forgetting the message that we were to send
we've lost count of victims roll call
turning inward to our own detriment
forgetting the message that we were to send
we've lost count of victims roll call
they're all our own
look back at what we've done
drove out
the wrong side
kicked sand in our own eyes
kicked sand in our own eyes
with every heroes welcome
is another group on the side
ready to fire
if they step out of line
just one mistake and the jealous hands claw away
any hope for a better way
you bought it forget it goodbye
so saints be on your toes
and heroes be not proud
because as soon as the people rise someone will tear you down
wake up and shut up
we've become our worst enemy
wake up and shut up
we've become our worst enemy
into a sharp wit with a stupid slag
we've gone and dug our own hole
cause everybody knows
we eat our own
? shooting ourselves in the foot
so busy fighting each other
while the real bastards fun for cover
we shoot our own leaders down
before those in power get the chance
so they sit back and laugh
while we destroy ourselves
we've become our worst enemy
wake up and shutup
we've become our worst enemy
forgetting the message that we were to send
we've lost count of victims roll call
forgetting the message that we were to send
we've lost count of victims roll call
look back at what we've done
drove out
the wrong side
kicked sand in our own eyes
kicked sand in our own eyes
is another group on the side
ready to fire
if they step out of line
just one mistake and the jealous hands claw away
any hope for a better way
you bought it forget it goodbye
and heroes be not proud
because as soon as the people rise someone will tear you down
we've become our worst enemy
wake up and shut up
we've become our worst enemy

The DVD from Tomorrow Come Today handles this one: Nathan states that its about how Leftist thinking groups are losing focus on thier goal and spending more time infighting.
@Rjg237 not sure how it conveys leftist think groups, seems to me be quite a general commentary on society ... too busy fighting ourselves (look at the current climate in the USA with Trump supporters and protesters).

Seems to be a suggestion that we as a society are so busy fighting ourselves (politics, social class, racism, sexism, us vs them) that we are weakening ourselves to a level that the "real" enemies don't need to fire a shot to be victorious.
The Un-united States of America (maybe change it to the Divided States of America) under the current political climate seems to be a great correlation to what this song is talking about IMO.
