The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers ( /ˈaɪzliː/ YZ-lee) are an American musical group consisting of brothers Ron and Ernie Isley. The founding members of the band were Ronald Isley, older brothers Rudy and Kelly and younger brother Vernon. Originally formed as a gospel quartet, following the death of brother Vernon, the remaining trio launched a career into doo-wop scoring with their first million-selling hit single, "Shout", in 1959. Follow-up successes came with the 1962 single, "Twist and Shout" and the 1966 Motown single, "This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)". more »

Time is truly wastin' 
There's no guarantee 
Smile's in the makin' 
You gotta fight the powers that be 
Got so many forces 
Stayin' on the scene 
Givin' up all around me 
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 
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 
I don't understand it 
People wanna see, ya 
Those that got the answers 
Red tape in the way 
I could take you in easy 
That's just half the fun, oh boy 
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
