I didnt know bout the modern ways of life, I didnt really care
I never gave a damn about the future, I never got my share
Somebody said, boy your times a wastin, youre movin much too slow
So many things in life worth tastin, so much you oughta know - look out
Get down, fool around, if you got half a chance, you take it
Ooh yeah, stand your ground, you gotta bend the rules to make it
Hold tight, see the light, think of all the dues youre payin
So true, Im tellin you, wise up, cant you hear me sayin
Chorus:
You gotta get all you can take - sing along, gotta keep on hummin
Stop waitin for your lucky break - stop waitin, wastin time
What fuckin difference does it make? - ooh, gotta keep it comin
You gotta get all you can take - doncha know Im gonna take whats mine
People lookin, eyes wide open, tell me what you see
Bodies tired, minds a chokin, you gotta set em free
Dont think about the race theyre runnin, theyll never let you in
With all the rules, its a race of fools, and you can never win - look out
Get down, fool around, think of all the dues youre payin
Oh yeah, stand your ground, wise up, cant you hear me sayin
Chorus
(yeah you know what Im talking about, ah just take a look around you)
Chorus
