Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy Lyrics






Huh!
Yeah, we're comin' back in with another "Bombtrack"
Think ya know it's all of that, HUH!
Hey yo, 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!
Hey yo, and 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!

  35. s.... r....

    Your government is your biggest enemy

    s.... r....

    Hi could you please explain how this is so?

    s.... r....

    @joe smith they only exist to serve moneyed interests.not the will of the people who pay them

    s.... r....

    @satanical redirection but democracy is an idiotic vote yourself rich system. and since people are lazy, don't care and are selfish it would only make sense that those who govern would represent the same qualities. the will of the people is to look after themselves almost entirely to the exclusion of all others. its the job of the government to pander to the prejudices of the people and give the people what they want, more corruption, decadence and cultural suicide. you don't try and steer a sinking ship in that sense. you let the thing sink so maybe a voter or 2 might get fed up enough to get off their lazy fat ass and do something. also the government doesn't need your taxpayer money, they print the stuff. did it ever occur to you that the problem could be the conformist jerks ignoring their kids, completely satisfied with watching some talking heads throwing some ad hominem and passing it off as political debate?

  36. d.... a....

    YES I KNOW MY ENEMIES!!!
    Los necesitamos más que nunca aquí en Chile. gracias por inspirarnos a seguir en la lucha.

  37. T.... V....

    It is not only in Chile, Euador was the one who started the fight, I would like to at least take Ecuador into account

    perdonen mi ignorancia pero qeu tiene que ver chile aca XD?

    H.... ....

    En Chile, hace ya 3 semanas que llevamos protestando constantemente luego de que el 18 de octubre se desatara la furia después de años de resignación frente a las problemáticas sociales.


    Y bueno, Rage Against the Machine hace canciones de protestas, así que sé que puedes unir cabos.

    H.... ....

    chilenos atacamos al sistema por su capitalismo despiadado, no queremos comunismo, queremos un capitalismo justo, y que el mercado chileno prospere, pero la elite vende a chile injustamente y nosotros pagamos por eso, la hipocresia de algunos sectores, los politicos, ese sueño americano que te venden pero que nunca llegas a lograr. eso es basicamente

    H.... ....

    los chilenos en especial los jovenes no nos sentimos representaods por estos politicos y pedimos la renuncia de todos ellos

  51. S.... ....

    Since these guys are back together, they should tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd just to fuck with everyone.

  52. P.... c....

    Vamos chilenos seguimos su ejemplo como se debe levantar un pueblo contra el opresor.
    Saludos argentinos!!! Aguante !!!

    P.... c....

    Gracias por el apoyo!! Allende los Andes también los apoyamos. Latinoamérica unida.
    Vamos Chile!

    P.... c....

    Aguante Argentina wm!!!!!!!!!

    P.... c....

    Quero ver quando esta revolta chegar ate a tua casa, e você ver sua família e pessoas que você ama serem sacrificadas pelos anarquistas que hoje estas defendendo.Por enquanto você esta ai na frente da tela do celular ou computador, bem seguro dentro de um quarto ou sala de estar.
