Cover art for Know Your Enemy lyrics by Rage Against the Machine

This song is fantastic, echoing Pink Floyd's "The Happiest Days of our Lives" and "Another Brick in the Wall." The music is fantastic in the superposition of different rhythms. The fast guitar riffs with the slower, syncopated drums and slap bass over the top, and then of course the funky tempo changes are typical of Rage. Of course the vocal style really mirrors the content of the song and the unique style of Rage goes against the norm which is what the song is all about.
