lyrics

Know your enemy, know yourself


everyone's wearing a uniform
you are too
I am too
nobody's an exception

conformity is a trap impossible to avoid
all your tattoos, all my clothes, all her dyes
won't get us out of the scheme
they won't set us free

we act like indomitable individuals
on a righteous crusade against the system
oh, we had lost from the very beginning
but we choose to turn our gaze away

our shoes, our pants, our shirts say it all about us
our devotion to bands, our allegiance to brands
we're all hypocrites, my friend
deal with it, deal with it, think again

we hoped to be rebels, now we are office clerks
we dreamed to change the world, we're now paying our bills
we're living a surrogate of the revolution
45 minutes of havoc to forget who we are

losers. Plain fucking losers
swallowed by the real world
the one that doesn't wait
sinking in the real world
the one that wants you to pay

your rent, your mortgage, you car gas, your phone bill
your holidays, your drinks, your condoms, your dreams

so let's go back to where we started
to that sad look behind our shoulders
to the glorious days of unconsciousness
when we really believed in what we loved

when our lives had yet to be written
when the snare hadn't bitten our tired legs
when our heart was young
and responsibility was yet to come

those days are gone.
Our soul might have been saved, but our butts are now at stake
welcome to the real world, motherfucker
know who you are. Be aware of what your are

the tiniest gear in the biggest machine
a gear wearing Vans, a gear lost in the stream
know your enemy, know who you are
the tiniest gear in the biggest machine

the tiniest gear in the biggest machine
a gear wearing Vans, a gear lost in the stream
know your enemy, know yourself
the tiniest gear that could jam the biggest machine.
