Know Your Enemy (Broadway) Lyrics by Green Day

American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording

2010

[ST. JIMMY]
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wa-hey!
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wa-hey!
The insurgency will rise
When the blood's been sacrificed
Don't be blinded by the lies
In your eyes
Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
While burning down the foreman of control
[WILL]
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
[ST. JIMMY]
Woah!
Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Well, violence is an energy, wa-hey!
[ALL]
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wa-hey!
[WILL, JOHNNY and ST. JIMMY]
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 (Don't be blind!)
That don't believe in me
[ST. JIMMY]
Silence is the enemy
[ALL]
Oh-way, oh-way
[ST. JIMMY]
From here to eternity
[ALL]
Oh-way, oh-way
[ST. JIMMY]
Violence is an energy
[ALL]
Oh-way, oh way
[ST. JIMMY]
Do you know the enemy? (Do you know your enemy?)
[JOHNNY and ST. JIMMY]
Do you know the enemy?
Well, you gotta know your enemy
[ALL]
Do you know the enemy?
