Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, right here
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, right here
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, right here
Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Well, violence is an energy, right here
Bringing on the fury
The choir infantry
Revolt against the honor to obey
(Oh, hey, oh, hey)
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Well, burning down the foreman of control
(Oh, hey, oh, hey)
Silence is an enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
(Oh, hey, oh, hey)
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, right here
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, right here
The insurgency will rise
When the blood's been sacrificed
Don't be blinded by the lies
In your eyes
Say
(Oh, hey, oh, hey)
(Oh, hey, oh, hey)
Well, violence is an energy
(Oh, hey, oh, hey)
Oh, from here to eternity
(Oh, hey, oh, hey)
Well, violence is an energy
(Oh, hey, oh, hey)
Well, silence is the enemy
So gimme, gimme revolution!
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, right here
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, right here
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, right here
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Well, burning down the foreman of control
(Oh, hey, oh, hey)
Silence is an enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
(Oh, hey, oh, hey)
