Lyrics:
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
