I didn´t know ´bout the ways of modern life
I didn´t really care
I never gave a damn about the future
I never got my share
Somebody said, Boy your time´s waistin´
You´re movin´ much too slow
So many things in life worth tastin´
So much you oughta know
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 fight
Think of all the dues you´re payin´
So true, I´m tellin´ you
Wise up, Can´t you here me sayin´
You gotta get all you can take
(sing along let me hera ya hummin)
Stop waitin´ for your lucky break
(stop watin´, waistin´ time)
What difference does it make?
(ooh, gotta keep it comin´)
You gotta get all you can take
(doncha know I´m gonna take what´s mine)
People lookin´, eyes wide open
Tell me what you see
Bodies tired, minds a´ chokin´
You gotta set´em free
Don´t bother with the race they´re runnin´
they´ll never let you in
With all the rules, it´s a race of fools
And you can never win
Get down, fool around
Think of all the dues you´re payin´
So true, I´m tellin´ you
Wise up, Can´t you here me sayin´
