Rage Against The Machine: Know Your Enemy

Rage Against The Machine
Know Your Enemy
Rage Against The Machine


Lyrics:

Huh!
Yeah, we're comin' back then with another bombtrack
Think ya know what it's all about
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, that's with
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 mike, 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 dick with this...uggh!
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 mike, 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 (8 times)
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

@MegaSpacebug No. he set himself on fire in protest of the violence in Vietnam during the war. We look on with horror, but he left a clear and compassionate explanation of why he did it. Got everyone's attention, either way.

In soviet Russia the Machine is Against Rage

[JohnnyChimpo84]

And what have you all done to rage against the enemy(the man)? Nothing? Good... And me? Work for them. If you will not rage against the machine this band is a failure.

@MegaSpacebug He was a Buddhist monk that burned himself to death, protesting the persecution of Buddhists by South Vietnam's Roman Catholic government. It happened in the 60's around the Vietnam War.

[MegaSpacebug]

The monk set him self on fire to protest on something about his religion in the 70s?
