Youve got to stand up, stay strong start movin in the right direction
Dont wait, too long, for people promising divine intervention
19 nine three, now Im taking matters into my own hands
So fast, I cant see
A revolution is the only way that we can change change change
I wanna fight the power
Well its hard times, white lines, kids of nine gettin down with gun crime
War zones, no homes, aint it time we gave the dog a bone
Say brothers, sisters, step up and put yourself in the picture
This time you know a revolution if the only way that we can change change change
I want to fight the power
Question, answer, shake your hand and smile for the camera
But its no good you should spend time in your neighbourhood
Where black kids, white kids
Now youre working overtime to be a crack kid
No job, no cash, a revolution is the only way that we can change change change
I wanna fight the power
Still we dont seem to understand we need a revolution
Everybody wants a revolution
Who is, this man, Im having trouble finding out where Im coming from
Preconceptions, its eternal human infection one chance,
Learn how youre gonna change the habit of a lifetime my soul, concerned,
That revolution is the only way that we can change change change
I wanna fight the power
Higher, higher, now were gonna learn to fight the power
Sunshine, new day, I only know how to get the right way
Faster, stronger, I help my brother and my soul lives longer
Blinded, I cant see
That revolution is the only way that we can change change change
I wanna fight the power
No doubt, in time, everything is sweet sunshine
But in the meantime, mankind, is having trouble where to draw the line
We still dont, respect, and yet I thought we had intellect
Sometimes I think the music is the only hope we have for revolution
Still we dont seem to understand we need a revolution
Everybody needs a revolution
