Fight The Power by Public Enemy

 Yet our best trained, best educated, best equipped

Best prepared troops refuse to fightAs a matter of fact, it's safe to say that they would rather switchThan fight
1989 the number another summer (get down)Sound of the funky drummerMusic hitting your heart 'cause I know you got soul(Brothers and sisters, hey)Listen if you're missing y'allSwinging while I'm singingGiving whatcha gettingKnowing what I knowWhile the Black bands sweatingAnd the rhythm rhymes rollingGot to give us what we wantGotta give us what we needOur freedom of speech is freedom or deathWe got to fight the powers that beLemme hear you say
Fight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerWe've got to fight the powers that be
As the rhythm designed to bounceWhat counts is that the rhymesDesigned to fill your mindNow that you've realized the pride's arrivedWe got to pump the stuff to make us tough
From the heartIt's a start, a work of artTo revolutionize make a change nothing's strangePeople, people we are the sameNo we're not the same'Cause we don't know the gameWhat we need is awareness, we can't get carelessYou say what is this?My beloved lets get down to businessMental self defensive fitnessDon't rush the showYou gotta go for what you knowMake everybody see, in order to fight the powers that beLemme hear you say
Fight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerWe've got to fight the powers that be
Fight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerFight the powerWe've got to fight the powers that be

that one dude would be a good friend to have around in case you need to know what
time it is. that reminds me that i have been meaning to buy a watch. not a smart watch. just a regular old casio. i hate taking my phone with me to bed but i need it in order to know what time it is when i wake up. or i could just go to bed with that one dude with all the clocks strapped to his chest. i wonder what it would be like to cuddle with him. i bet his breath is bad. or maybe all that gold on his teeth fights bacteria? not sure. at any rate it would probably be kind different from what i'm used to.

there is no chance of any more of fighting the power that be. that power is gonna doom us all to death. sad.
