Green Day - Know Your Enemy - Lyrics

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Violence is an enemy
Bringing on the fury
the chior infantry
Revolt against the honor to obey

Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Burning down the foreman of control
Silience is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well gotta know the enemy

The insurgency will rise
When the bloods been sacrificed
Dont be blinded by the lies
In your eyes.

Violence is an energy
From here to enternity
Violence is an energy
silence is the enemy
So gimme gimme revolution

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well gotta know the enemy

Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Burning down the foreman of control

Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul

3. I toured with these guys back in the day
I am glad to see how successful they've become. They are really nice guys and deserve it.

4. That would have fit very nicely on American Idiot
That's a very good thing. If the new record is 1/2 as good as A.I., it will be great.

5. Green Day are such pros...
...at cashing in on broad popular sentiments without actually being creative. Melodramatic, ham-fisted, mind-numbing lyrics. Why is this useless trash being posted here?

9. I do think this song is kind of boring.
Seems like they made it just so they could put it in a Gatorade commercial. Green Day along with bands like The Queers, and Screeching Weasel used to be the soundtrack to many summer nights for me. Glad they are still doing well, but this song isnt for me.

13. I agree
My teen years were filled with pop-punk records, and Kerplunk, Dookie, and Insomniac all still get regular rotation in my car, but I thing this song is generic and boring sounding.

14. You'll probably like the "B side" better
This one is definitely more of an old school Green Day feel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFmIA7l6Mho

Looks like they're going for American Idiot part II on the album. I thought the album itself was a great work of art, separated from the fact that it's the same band I used to see in clubs back in the early 90's, but yeah I'd be lying if I didn't say I still think "Kerplunk" is the best album they ever made.
