The Isley Brothers - The Definitive Collection

Fight The Power - Pts. 1 & 2

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee, yeah
Smile's 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 try to play my music, they say my music's too loud
I try talkin' about it, I got the big run around
An' when I rolled with the punches, I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down, yeah

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee, yeah
Smile's in the makin'
We 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 try to play my music, they say my music's too loud
I try talkin' about it, I got the big run around
An' when I rolled with the punches, I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down, oh

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee, yeah
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
Got it, baby, ooh

If you 'n' I, can we got the power, c'mon
Fight it, fight the power
Fight, fight it, babe, baby, baby
Fight it, fight the power
Fight it (fight it), fight the power
Fight it, fight the power
Stand up and fight it, fight the power

(Stand up, stand up) fight it, fight the power (fight, fight, fight)
Fight it, fight the power
Fight it, yeah, fight the power (can't believe, can't believe)
Fight it (fight it)
Baby, baby, baby, yeah

Fight it, fight the power (fight the power)
Fight it, fight the power (fight the power)
Fight it, fight the power (fight the power)
(Stand up, stand up) fight it, fight the power
Fight it, fight the power (oh yeah, yeah)
Fight it (fight it), fight the power
Fight it, c'mon, fight the power

You gotta fight it, fight the power
You gotta fight it, fight the power
You gotta fight it, fight the power

You gotta fight it, fight the power
You gotta fight it, fight the power
Fight it (fight it), fight the power
