The Isley Brothers - The Heat Is On

Fight the Power (Recorded Live at Bearsville Studios, Bearsville, New York)

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be

Got so many forces
Stayin' on the scene
Givin' up all around me
Faces full a' pain

I can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be

I don't understand it
People wanna see, ya
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 can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be

If you I can - we got the power
Fight it, got the power fight it baby, baby
Fight it, fight the power
