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

Givin' up all around me
Faces full o' pain


CHORUS:
I can't play my music
(They say my music's too loud)

I kept talkin' about it
(I got the big run around)
And when I rolled with the punches

(I got knocked on the ground)
With all this bull%#@! going down


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


CHORUS:
I can't play my music

(They say my music's too loud)
I kept talkin' about it
(I got the big run around)

And when I rolled with the punches
(I got knocked on the ground)
With all this bull%#@! 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, fight the power


Fight it........baby, baby, baby, yeah


Fight it, fight the power
(repeated till end)
