Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy lyrics

Your rating:

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 gotta know 
Ya gotta 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 enenmy 

Word is born 
Fight the war, fuck the norm 
Now I got no patience 
So sick of complacence 
With the D E F I A N C E 
The mind of a revolutionary 
So clear the lane 
The finger to the land of chains 
What? The land of the free? 
Whoever told you that is your enemy 

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 sick of you 
Time has come to pay 

Yes I know my enemies 
They are the teachers who taught me to fight me 
Compromise, conformity, assimulation, submission 
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite 
All of which are American dreams
