Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that beGot so many forces
Stayin' on the scene
Givin' up all around me
Faces full a' painI try to play my music
They say my music's too loud
I tried talkin' about it
I got the big run around
And when I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going downTime is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that beI don't understand it
People wanna see
Those that got the answers
Red tape in the wayI could take you in easy
That's just half the fun, oh boy
Seeking satisfaction
Keeps me on the runI try to play my music
They say my music's too loud
I tried talkin' about it
I got the big run around
And when I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
But all this bullshit going downTime is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
Got it babyIf you and I can
We got the power
Fight it, got the power
Fight it, baby, baby
Fight it, fight the powerFight it, got the power
Fight it, got the power
Fight it, got the power
