Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy Lyrics

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 Rage Against The Machine Lyrics Know Your Enemy Lyrics
