[make it wicked]


I

Stick it to the man,

they tell us

Stick it and rise

Use your belt and pull,

they say

Pull until they pop

And stick it to the man

Take the Future and

inebriate it

Let the Future see its past

in colors

Let the colors dance

 

II

Use your power

to undo their work,

you say

Take the Future

and twist it

and turn it

And make it

wicked

Thwart them and ruin their

plans

The Future is yours,

you tell them

 

III

The Past cannot win this battle

It has gotten its way for far too long

You will take the Future and inebriate it

The Past cannot continue

 

IV

The Future

needs

its way out

It needs its way

and guidance

You know

what is

best

Stick it to the man

And that man

And that man

That woman and her child

That person and their heart

Stick it as far as it

will

go
