Rage Against the Machine, Maynard James Keenan - Know Your Enemy lyrics

Huh yeah, we're comin' back in
With another bombtrack
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
