[Verse 1]
Time is truly wasting
There's no guarantee, no, no
Smile is in the making
We got to fight the powers that be
We gotta fight
Got so many voices, saying all the same, yeah
Killing up all around me, faces full of pain

[Chorus]
I tried to play my music, they say my music's too loud
I tried talking about it, got the big runaround
And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down, hey

[Verse 2]
Time is truly wasting, there's no guarantee, no
Smile is in the making, 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, no, no
Seeking my satisfaction, keeps me on the run

[Chorus]
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
With all this bullshit going down, oooh
[Outro]
Time is truly wasting, there's no guarantee, no
Smile is in the making, 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
Stand up and
Come on and fight
Fight it
