Know Your Enemy Songtext
von Rage Against the Machine

Huh!
Yeah, we′re comin' back in with another bomb track
Think ya know it′s all of that, huh!

Ayo, so check this out, yeah

Know your enemy
Come on!

Born with insight and a raised fist
A witness to the slit wrist
As we move into '92
Still in a room without a view

Ya got to know, ya got to know
That when I say go, go, go
Amp up and amplify, defy
I'm a brother with a furious mind


Action must be taken
We don′t need the key, we′ll break in
Something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I′ll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Fist in ya face in the place and I′ll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy

Know your enemy!

Yeah
Ayo, get with this, ugh!

Word is born
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence

With the D, the E, the F, the I, the A, the N, the C, the E
Mind of a revolutionary, so clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The "land of the free"?
Whoever told you that is your enemy

Now something must be done
About vengeance, a badge, and a gun
'Cause I′ll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Now action must be taken
We don't need the key, we′ll break in


I′ve got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of you
Time has come to pay

Know your enemy

Come on!
Yes, I know my enemies
They′re the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity
Assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy
Brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
