None of you would help me when I baked by bread
Now all of you would help me eat it
I can see that you are very well fed
This indicates that you don't need it
Enough said
Enough said
Stop and let me tell you what tomorrow holds for you
Stop and let me tell you 'bout a plan I have for you
Take all the leaders from around the world
Put them together in a great big ring
Televise it as the lowest show on earth
And let them fight like hell to see who's king
Gather up the pieces when the fight is done
Then you'll find out living really can be fun
The next thing I say to you will be true, the last thing I said was false
Remember to do nothing when you don't know what to do you
You wanted a world you could figure out
But something happened while you were asleep
You wanted a good life you could brag about
Too bad they took the parts you wanted to keep
Enough said

"Enough Said", pubblicata nell'album "New Traditionalists" del 1981, è un'aspra e dura critica nei confronti della guerra e dell'ipocrisia della società.
E' uno dei brani più rabbiosi del gruppo, e tra le varie cose se la prende la teleidiozia e tutto ciò che dipende da essa ("prendete tutti i leader del mondo, metteteli in un grande ring, pubblicizzatelo come il più basso spettacolo della terra e fateli combattere tra di loro finché non salta fuori chi è il re" oppure "volevi un mondo che potevi capire, ma è successo qualcosa mentre dormivi"), con i sogni distrutti ("volevi una vita di cui vantarti, peccato che si siano presi la parte che volevi tenerti") e l'egoismo della società ("nessuno di voi mi ha aiutato mentre cucinavo il pane, adesso tutti vorreste aiutarmi a mangiarlo. Vedo che siete ben nutriti, questo indica che non ne avete bisogno").
I Devo faranno molte altre critiche sociali, ma sempre in tono ironico e pungente. In questo brano, invece, sembrano arrabbiati sul serio e c'è molta meno ironia del solito.
