Fight The Power - Parts 1 & 2
Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah
Smiles in the makin', you gotta fight the powers that be
Got so many forces stayin' on the scene, yeah
Givin' up all around me faces full of pain
I tried to play my music they say my music's too loud
I tried talkin' about it I got the big run around
And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down, hey
Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah
Smiles in the makin', you gotta fight the powers that be
I don't understand it people wanna see, yeah
Those that got the answers red tape in the way
I could take you in easy that's just half the fun, oh boy
Seeking satisfaction keeps me on the run
I tried to play my music they say my music's too loud
I tried talkin' about it I got the big run around
And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down, hey
Time is truly wastin' there's no guarantee, yeah
Smile's in the makin' you gotta fight the powers that be
That it be yeah
If you and I can we got the power, come on
Fight it, fight the power
Fight it, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Fight it, fight the power
Fight it, fight the power
Fight it, fight the power
...
Smiles in the makin', you gotta fight the powers that be

And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down, hey
