Time is [bad word] 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
 [bad word] 
I can't play my music 
(They say my music's too loud)
I kept talkin' about it 
(I got the [bad word] around)
And when I rolled with the punches 
(I got knocked on the ground)
With all this [bad word] going down

Time is [bad word] 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 [bad word]  [bad word] 
I can't play my music 
(They say my music's too loud)
I kept talkin' about it 
(I got the [bad word] around)
And when I rolled with the punches 
(I got knocked on the ground)
With all this [bad word] going down

Time is [bad word] 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)
