Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
Fight the power!
I've got the power
Fight the power!
I've got the power
Head like a hole, black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Guitar!
Fight the power!
Fight the powers that be!
Oooh-woo-ooh
Down, down, down, down, da-down, down, down
Knock a little louder, sugar
Down, down, down, down, da-down, down, down
I can't hear you
Yo, pump up the jam
Pump it up
While your feet are stomping
And the jam is pumping
Look ahead, the crowd is jumpin'
Back to life, back to reality
Fight the power!
I've got the power
Fight the power!
I've got the power
Head like a hole, black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Guitar!
Fight the power!
Fight the powers that be!
Oooh-woo-ooh
Down, down, down, down, da-down, down, down
Knock a little louder, sugar
Down, down, down, down, da-down, down, down
I can't hear you
Yo, pump up the jam
Pump it up
While your feet are stomping
And the jam is pumping
Look ahead, the crowd is jumpin'
Step, step to the rhythm, step, step to the rhyme
I've got an open mind so why don't you all get inside
Tune in, turn on, to my tune that's live
Ladies flock like bees to a hive
Hey, hey, hey, hey, ladies
(Ooooh, ladies first, ladies first)
Come on, girls!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
(Ooooh, ladies first, ladies first)
Do you believe in love?
(Hey, ladies)
(Ooooh, ladies first, ladies first)
'Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this
I’m free, I’m free
(Let’s go!)
I’m free, I’m free
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a) (Free fallin’)
I’m free, I’m free
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
I’m free, I’m free (I’m free)
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a) (Ow!)
Free fallin’ (Free)
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
(Oooooooooh-ow!)
(I’m free)
I've got an open mind so why don't you all get inside
Tune in, turn on, to my tune that's live
Ladies flock like bees to a hive
Hey, hey, hey, hey, ladies
(Ooooh, ladies first, ladies first)
Come on, girls!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
(Ooooh, ladies first, ladies first)
Do you believe in love?
(Hey, ladies)
(Ooooh, ladies first, ladies first)
'Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this
I’m free, I’m free
(Let’s go!)
I’m free, I’m free
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a) (Free fallin’)
I’m free, I’m free
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
I’m free, I’m free (I’m free)
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a) (Ow!)
Free fallin’ (Free)
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
(Oooooooooh-ow!)
(I’m free)
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer (Here comes your man)
I'm down on my knees
I want to take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer (Oh!)
You know I'll take you there
Roam if you want to (Let’s go!)
Roam around the world (We’ll have a good time)
Roam if you want to (You know I'll take you there)
Roam around the world (Let’s go!)
Woo!
That’s the end?
It's like a little prayer (Here comes your man)
I'm down on my knees
I want to take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer (Oh!)
You know I'll take you there
Roam if you want to (Let’s go!)
Roam around the world (We’ll have a good time)
Roam if you want to (You know I'll take you there)
Roam around the world (Let’s go!)
Woo!
That’s the end?
