A stirring call to arms, this track by the American punk rock band encourages listeners to question and challenge oppressive systems. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the importance of understanding one's adversary in order to effectively resist. The song equates silence with complicity, urging listeners not to remain passive but instead spark a revolution against unjust authority. The lyrics also depict violence as an inevitable energy in the face of resistance, suggesting that conflict is necessary for meaningful change. Ultimately, this anthem serves as a reminder that complacency can be just as damaging as active oppression, and urges us all to rise against it.
Know Your Enemy
Lyrics
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Violence is an energy
Bringing on the fury
The choir infantry
Revolt against the honor to obey
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
While burning down the foreman of control
Silence is an enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
The insurgency will rise
When the blood's been sacrificed
Don't be blinded by the lies
In your eyes
Violence is an energy
From here to eternity
Violence is an energy
Silence is an enemy
So gimme gimme revolution
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
We're burning down the foreman of control
Silence is an enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
