I need just simple naked idea.


Artist: The Isley Brothers>Song: Fight The Power>Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin' (smile is pretendious? Or smile is done?)
You gotta fight the powers that be (struggle against the power or forces rule the world
Got so many forces (I have many forces, or there are forces)
Stayin' on the scene (they rule world)
Givin' up all around me (I see all people with faces with pain?)
Faces full a' pain
I can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around (I travelled and tried to spread this?)
When I rolled with the punches (they beat me?)
I got knocked on the ground (I fell down to ground?)
With all this bullshit going down (I find nonsense the world?)

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
I don't understand it
People wanna see, ya
Those that got the answers (People want who has answers ?)
Red tape in the way (Bureacratic so…??)
I could take you in easy (I could decieve you ?)
That's just half the fun, oh boy (fun is just beginnnig?)
Seeking satisfaction (?)
Keeps me on the run (?)
I can't 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'
You gotta fight the powers that be

If you & I can - we got the power
Fight it, got the power fight it........baby, baby
Fight it, fight the power
