time is truly wastin theres no guarantee yeah
smile is in the makin we’ve got to fight the powers that be
got so many voices saying all the same yeah
killing up all around me faces full of pain
refrain
i tried to play my music they say my musics too loud
i tried talking about it i got the big runaround
and when i rolled with the punches i got knocked on the ground
by all this bullshit going down hey
time is truly wastin theres no guarantee yeah
smile is in the makin we got to fight the powers that be
i dont understand it people wanna say yeah
those that got the answers red tape in the way
i could tend to it easy lets just have some fun now now
seekin my satisfaction keeps me on the run
refrain
time is truly wastin theres no guarantee yeah
smile is in the makin we got to fight the powers that be
fight it baby yeah woo hey even you and i can fight the power
fight it fight the power repeat to end
