[Verse 1]
Time is truly wastin', there's 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
k**ing up all around me, faces full of pain
[Refrain]
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 bullsh** going down, hey
[Verse 2]
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 now, now
Seekin' my satisfaction, keeps me on the run
[Refrain]
[Verse 3]
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 (repeat to end)
