Know Your Enemy Lyrics


Fuzz

Recommended Posts

Here's what I think it is:

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 (At all???)

Silence is the enemy,

Against the urgency to rally up the demons of your soul. Oh oh oh oh!

Well, violence is an energy. oh, oh, oh, oh

Well, silence is the enemy, so give me, give me revolution!

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well, gotta know the enemy. (Right here)

x2

Silence is an enemy,

Against your urgency to rally up the demons of your soul. Oh, oh, oh, oh..

- - - -

Hope this is right, and I hope it helps. After listening/watching the video for about an hour, I think that this is right, but I'm not fully sure.

my thoughts in bold

I don't think it's "wa hey" tbh, I'm leaning towards "right here".

I'm with you Dai, I just dont hear wah hey. I slowed it down on WMP but still dont think it says that.

who knows though. My kids thought it said well hey

Yeah, I can't hear 'right here', either. I sang the two different lines and right here didn't fit that well. But until the single/album comes out and we all have the real lyrics in front of us, every guess is good.

But "wa-hey" doesn't make any sense. He's gotta be saying something

Although, he also says "oeoe" so you might actually be right :lol:

I think it goes something like this in the video:

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well, gotta know the enemy (Wah-eh!) x3

Violence is an energy

Against the enemy,

Well, violence is an energy (Wah-eh???)

Silence is the enemy,

Against your urgency so rally up the demons of your soul! (Woh, oh, oh, oh! say!)

(Woh, oh, oh, oh)

Well violence is an energy (Woh, oh, oh, oh!)

Well silence is the enemy,

So gimme, gimme, revolution!

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well gotta know the enemy (Wah-eh!) x2

Silence is the enemy,

Against your urgency so rally up the demons of your soul! (Woh, oh, oh, oh!)

I think it's "Wah-eh"

I have considered "Right here" but I'm not hearing it...

I think it's like that because it goes with all of the "Woh, oh, oh, oh's" I think it's just added there for effect in the song.

But idk...I could be wrong..but Billie does tend to add sounds like that a lot in a lot of their songs, even as early as Dookie he'd make some sort of weird noise/sound in the song, like in Basketcase for example xD

"well, hey" makes more sense than "wa hey", I must say. Probably even more sense than "right here".

I completely agree with Viva La Gloria's lyrics...

Here's what i put, which is basically the same as Viva La Gloria's lol

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well, gotta know the enemy (Wah-eh!) x3

Violence is an energy

Against the enemy,

Well, violence is an energy (Wah-eh?)

Bringin on the fury

the choir infantry

we vote (revolt?) against the honor to obey

(Woh, oh, oh, oh!)

Overthrow the effigy

The vast majority

We're buring down the bargain of control

(Woh, oh, oh, oh!)

Silence is the (an?) enemy,

Against your urgency so rally up the demons of your soul! (Woh, oh, oh, oh!)

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well gotta know the enemy (Wah-eh!) x2

Insurgency will rise

When the blood's been sacrificed

We'll be blinded.......

(Guitar solo here maybe?)

And then later on in the song:

Well violence is an energy (Woh, oh, oh, oh!)

Well silence is the enemy,

So gimme, gimme, revolution!

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well gotta know the enemy (Wa-hey!) x2

Silence is the enemy,

Against your urgency so rally up the demons of your soul! (Woh, oh, oh, oh!)

I'm pretty much positive that those are the lyrics...

Infantry - soldiers who are primarily trained for the role of fighting on foot.

Effigy - a crude representation of someone disliked, used for purposes of ridicule.

Insurgency - a rebellion against a constituted authority.

Those three word's definitions seem to make sense with the song as well.
