Lyrics
I Against I
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the quest for the test to fulfill an achievement
Everybody's only in it all for themselves
When the fact of the matter is that they just don't dare
To extend a helping hand to anyone else
So tell me why, did you have to lie
And try to make me all confused about the U.S.A.
When the fact of the matter is that you just don't hear
To comprehend or understand a single word I say
I don't wanna have I go against I!
I don't wanna have I go against I!
Well, let me tell you
The same old story, no factual glory
I against I against I against I against
And I say I don't like it
And I know I don't want it
I against I against I against I against I against
Almighty watching
Almighty watching
I against I against I against I against I against
And I say I don't like it
And I know I don't want it
I against I against I against I against
I said who's gonna tell the youth about the drugs
About the drugs, mugs, bugs, and the police thugs
About the rotten stinkin' rackets and the fantasies
Around the nation
Around the nation
Oh, what you gonna do?
I tell you the truth is looking straight at you.
Oh, baby, baby, what you gonna do?
I tell you the truth is looking straight at you!
Oh, now I got a brass continental with a 300 Z
I got a color TV with a video too
I got a rest home in Jamaica with my fantasy for my family
Around the nation.
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
