Fight The Power

[00:01.47] Yet our best trained, best educated, best equipped
[00:05.14] Best prepared troops refuse to fight
[00:08.93] As a matter of fact, it's safe to say that they would rather switch
[00:14.95] Than fight
[00:17.23]
[00:44.67] 1989 the number another summer (get down)
[00:49.15] Sound of the funky drummer
[00:50.59] Music hitting your heart 'cause I know you got soul
[00:52.98] (Brothers and sisters, hey)

[01:33.62] Designed to fill your mind
[01:35.27] Now that you've realized the pride's arrived
[01:37.32] We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
[01:39.56] From the heart
[01:40.20] It's a start, a work of art
[01:41.67] To revolutionize make a change nothing's strange
[01:44.53] People, people we are the same
[01:46.66] No we're not the same
[01:47.56] 'Cause we don't know the game
[01:49.01] What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
