[Zack de la Rocha]
HUH! Yeah, we're comin' back in with another "Bombtrack" Think ya know it's all of that, HUH! Aiyyo, so check this out... Yeah... [music changes] KNOW YOUR ENEMY! C'MON! 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 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! YEAH! Aiyyo, dick with this...UGH! 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 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!! [Band singing (along with Maynard James Keenan of Tool)] I've got no patience now... So sick of complacence, now... I've got no patience, now... So sick of complacence nooow.. Sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of...you.. Time...has...come...to...PAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-EEEEEEEE!!! KNOW YOUR ENEMY! [*Tom Morello with his weird wah-wah guitar solo*] [Zack de la Rocha] C'MON! 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! ALL of which are American dreams! ALL of which are American dreams! ALL of which are American dreams! [*music stops*] ALL OF WHICH ARE AMERICAN DREAMS! ALL OF WHICH ARE AMERICAN DREAMS! ALL OF WHICH ARE AMERICAN DREAMS! ALL OF WHICH, ARE AMERICAN DREAMS! |

An energy blast, this song is one of the fastest
and dynamic of RATM, with the last words of the
song being as famous as the band's name.

Maynard sounds like he still has a cock in his
mouth when he starts...

Last two posters listen to Garbage and NIN so I
can see how they'd not like Maynard's part.
