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 try to 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' 
We 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 my satisfaction 
Keeps me on the run
I try to play my music 
They say my music's too loud
I try talkin about it 
I got the big run around
And 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 and I can - we got the power
Fight it, got the power fight it........baby, baby
Fight it, fight the power
