Know Your Enemy

Im kind of on a roll on songs. Ive decided to try and do...like and editorial type thing on my favourite songs. Like explain what they mean to me. And maybe try and get pictures to relate. So the song im focusing on now is Know Your Enemy-Track 3 off 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day. Im sure this is going to sound weird but I dont particularly like the music in the song but I feel that the lyrics have a really strong message.
In context with the story of this album, this song is Gloria (main female character in the story) trying to impress upon people how important it is to know your enemy so that you will see danger before it hits you. 


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

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

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

Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Well, violence is an energy, wah hey

Bringing on the fury
The choir infantry
Revolt against the honor to obey

Overthrow the effigy 
The vast majority
Well, burning down the foreman of control

Silence 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, wah hey

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

The insurgency will rise
When the blood's been sacrificed
Don't be blinded by the lies in your eyes
Sing!

Well, violence is an energy, oh ay, oh ay
Well, from here to eternity, oh ay, oh ay
Well, violence is an energy, oh ay, oh ay
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 hey

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

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

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
