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

The Isley Brothers
Album : The Heat Is On

Time is truly wastin`, there`s no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin`, we 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
I tried to play my music, they say my music`s 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`, there`s no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin`, we got to fight the powers that be
I don`t understand it, people wanna say yeah
Those that got the answers, red tape in the way
I could tend to it easy, let`s just have some fun naw, naw
Seekin` my satisfaction, keeps me on the run
I tried to play my music, say my music`s 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, oooh
Time is truly wastin`, there`s 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
