Lyrics
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know the enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wa-hey!

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know your enemy, wa-hey!
Oh-way, oh-way

The insurgency will rise
When the blood's been sacrificed
Don't be blinded by the lies
In your eyes

Silence the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
Oh-way, oh-way

Overthrow the effigies
The vast majority
While burning down the foreman of control
Oh-way, oh-way

And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make-believe
That don't believe in me
Wah!

Violence in an energy
Against the enemy well
Violence in an energy, wa-hey!
Oh-way, oh-way

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wah-hey!
Oh-way, oh-way, etc.

And there's nothing wrong with me
(The insurgency will rise)
This is how I'm supposed to be
(When the blood's been sacrificed)
In a land of make-believe
That don't believe in me

Silence is the enemy
Oh-way, oh-way
Violence is an energy
Oh way, oh-way
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
Do you know the enemy?
