"Know Your Enemy"
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Well, violence is an energy, rah-eh
Bringing on the fury
The choir infultry
Revolt against the honor to obey (oh-eh, oh-eh)
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Well, burning down the foreman of control (oh-eh, oh-eh)
And silence is an enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul (oh-eh, oh-eh)
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
The insurgency will rise
When the blood's been sacrificed
Don't be blinded by the lies in your eyes
Say!
Oh-eh, oh-eh
Oh-eh, oh-eh
Well, violence is an energy (oh-eh, oh-eh)
Well, from here to eternity (oh-eh, oh-eh)
Well, violence is an energy (oh-eh, oh-eh)
Well, silence is the enemy, so gimme, gimme revolution
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Overthrow the effigy (do you know the enemy?)
The vast majority
Well, burning down the foreman of control (well, gotta know the enemy)
(Oh-eh, oh-eh)
And silence is an enemy (do you know the enemy?)
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul (well, gotta know the enemy)
(Oh-eh, oh-eh)
