Green Day – Know Your Enemy Lyrics

Rock

Do you know your enemy?

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Well, violence is an energy, rah-eh
Bringing on the fury
The choir infultry
Revolt against the honor to obey (oh-eh, oh-eh)
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Well, burning down the foreman of control (oh-eh, oh-eh)
And silence is an enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul (oh-eh, oh-eh)
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
The insurgency will rise
When the blood's been sacrificed
Don't be blinded by the lies in your eyes
Jump, jump jump jump jump
Let's go!
Oh-eh, oh-eh

Oh-eh, oh-eh

I say "heeey hoo", let's go!
(Heeey hoo)
I need somebody!
I need somebody to come up stage right now
Who knows the lyrics to this song
Who knows the lyrics
Who knows the lyrics to this song?
He knows, she knows
You know?
You swear?
Okay, come on, come on, come on
Be careful up here, it's very slippery
Get your hands up
Sweden!

Well, violence is an energy (oh-eh, oh-eh)
Well, from here to eternity (oh-eh, oh-eh)
Well, violence is an energy (oh-eh, oh-eh)
Well, silence is the enemy, so gimme, gimme revolution

Alright
When I say
One, two, three, four
I wanna see everybody jumping
All the way to the back
Alright?

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?

One, two
One two three four!

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh
Overthrow the effigy (do you know the enemy?)
The vast majority
Well, burning down the foreman of control (well, gotta know the enemy)
(Oh-eh, oh-eh)
And silence is an enemy (do you know the enemy?)
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul (well, gotta know the enemy)
(Oh-eh, oh-eh)
Sing it!

This next song is called:
Fuck off
Are you ready?

    This is a great song, but still it sounds like they softened up a little. They should go back to the real rock like American Idiot , but holy cow the drums were fantastic. This should be on guitar hero

    Even the Obama administration and the media arent safe from Green Day. BTW, American Idiot was anti-media.
