'Way down south in Fort Detrick Maryland,
The boys in germ warfare, dealt you a brand new hand,
They paid on pairs of viruses like a croupier pays,
      on clubs, diamonds hearts and spades,
A biologic weapon against the "enemy",
      and the newspapers call it "A.I.D.S."

But wait a minute!

The enemy is you! The enemy is me!
The enemy is you, the enemy is me,
When there's no responsibility.

Late one night when the "enemy" lay fast asleep,
They mixed a harmless virus from a cow, and
      likewise from a sheep,
Although such things are dangerous, they proceeded,
      with complete impunity,
And sure enough ...
Out of this soup, a deadly agent to destroy,
      the enemy's immunity.

But wait a minute!

The enemy is you! The enemy is me!
The enemy is you, the enemy is me,
When there's no culpability.

(Guitar)

The enemy is you! The enemy is me!
The enemy is you, the enemy is me,
When there's no culpability.

Back in the 1970s, a new vaccine against hepatitis,
They said "let's find some test subjects - little people,
      who will not fight us".
Gays from San Francisco and New York,
      and the whole population of Zaire,
Who cares if there are casualties, why,
      they're nothing but a bunch of niggers and queers,
The memory of the people is short, it's amazing how
      quickly it fades,
'Cause just a few years later all these people,
      came down with A.I.D.S.

Now how did that happen? So you see ...

The enemy is you! The enemy is me!
The enemy is you, the enemy is me,
When there's no responsibility.
