sozlerini de yazalim ,

huh!
yeah, we’re comin’ back then with another bombtrack
think ya know what it’s all about
huh!
hey yo, so check this out
yeah!
know your enemy!
come on!
born with insight and a raised fist
a witness to the slit wrist, that’s with
as we move into ’92
still in a room without a view
ya got to know
ya got to know
that when i say go, go, go
amp up and amplify
defy
i’m a brother with a furious mind
action must be taken
we don’t need the key
we’ll break in
something must be done
about vengeance, a badge and a gun
’cause i’ll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
i was born to rage against ’em
fist in ya face, in the place
and i’ll drop the style clearly
know your enemy
know your enemy!
yeah!
hey yo, and dick with this
word is born
fight the war, fuck the norm
now i got no patience
so sick of complacence
with the d the e the f the i the a the n the c the e
mind of a revolutionary
so clear the lane
the finger to the land of the chains
what? the land of the free?
whoever told you that is your enemy?
now something must be done
about vengeance, a badge and a gun
’cause i’ll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
i was born to rage against ’em
now action must be taken
we don’t need the key
we’ll break in
i’ve got no patience now
so sick of complacence now
i’ve got no patience now
so sick of complacence now
sick of sick of sick of sick of you
time has come to pay
know your enemy!
come on!
yes i know my enemies
they’re the teachers who taught me to fight me
compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
all of which are american dreams

rage against the machine grubunun müthiş bir şarkısıdır. sözleri, vokali, müziği, kısacası her şeyiyle düz duvara tırmandırır, bağıra bağıra kapitalizme karşı, insanlık için yürümeye, savaşmaya çağırır.
