Know Your Enemy - Intellectual

[Intro: Zack De La Rocha]

Huh

Yeah, we're comin' back in with another bombtrack

Think ya know it's all of that, huh

Ayo, so check this out, yeah

[Refrain: Zack De La Rocha]

Know your enemy

Come on

[Verse 1: Zack De La Rocha]

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 got to know, ya got to 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 mic, 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

[Refrain: Zack De La Rocha]

Know your enemy

Yeah

Ayo, get with this, uh

[Verse 2: Zack De La Rocha]

Word is born

Fight the war, fuck the norm

Now I got no patience

So sick of complacence

With the D, the E, the F, the I, the A, the N, the 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 mic, 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

[Bridge: Maynard James Keenan]

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 you

Time has come to pay

[Refrain: Zack De La Rocha]

Know your enemy

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro: Zack De La Rocha]

Come on

Yes, I know my enemies

They're the teachers who taught me to fight me

Compromise, conformity

Assimilation, submission

Ignorance, hypocrisy

Brutality, the elite

All of which are American dreams
