[Intro]

Bow down to no one

Resist the system


[Verse 1]

Lost in uncertainty, divided in our strife

No comprehension of the conflict of our lives

Become enslaved in a technological haze

In the crosshairs of a weapon that dissuades our brains

The target is in sight

Mental imprisonment

They'll take you down from the inside (Inside)

Self-destruction on command


[Chorus]

Resist and fight back

Our minds under attack

Destroy their authority

And know your enemy

Protest, demonstrate

We must retaliate

Bow down to no one

And know your enemy, yeah


[Verse 2]

Locked and loaded, waiting to explode (Explode)

Pawns of illusion subjugating to control


[Chorus]

Resist and fight back

Our minds under attack

Destroy their authority

And know your enemy

Protest, demonstrate

We must retaliate

Bow down to no one

And know your enemy


[Bridge]

It runs much deeper than you think

You'll never see who pulls the strings

You've got to know, know your enemy

Force-fed illusions

In this world of confusion

You have to know, know your enemy

The target is in sight


[Refrain]

Bow down to no one

Resist the system

Bow down to no one (Bow down to no one)

Resist the system and fight back


[Guitar solo]


[Pre-Chorus]

They can't subjugate a mind that's free

No more force-fed reality


[Chorus]

Resist and fight back

Our minds under attack

Destroy their authority

And know your enemy

Protest, demonstrate

We must retaliate

Bow down to no one

And know your enemy


[Outro]

They'll take you down from the inside

Resist and fight back

And know your enemy
