Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy (Live) lyrics

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 You got to know, you got to know that when I 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 Come on Word is born fight the war Now I've got no patience So sick of complacence D the E F the I A the N and 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 And I've got no patience now So sick of complacence now I'm sick of, sick of, sick of you Time has come to pay Come on Come on Yes I know my enemies They're the teachers who taught me to fight me Yeah compromise, conformity, a**imilation Submission, 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
