Todd Rundgren - Up Against It lyrics

Can you hear it? Ear against the ground and you'll hear it I can tell a change when i hear it We are tigers Kings of jungles Trapped in cages We forget we once were free! And the average swain Would be contented in his chains Were it not for complainers like me Throw the book I'm up against it Up against the rules Bring the experts Up against them Up against the fools Bring on city hall I'm against them all Lamp of freedom No, you can't change Human nature Wheels of power Keep revolving endlessly With a fanatical faction A charismatic attraction There's a piece of that action for me Call the press I'm up against it Up against the flacks Bring the shrink I'm up against it Up against the quacks Revenuers Up against it Up against the tax Name some names And i'm up against them Bullies, big and small I'm against them all All we need is some vitality Like an [...] individuality But i guess they [...] [...] make it all alone Bring the girls I'm up against them I'm up against their lips Bring the boys I'm up against them Up against their hips Bring the priest I'm up against him Up against that cross Bring the mob I'm up against it Up against the boss Bring the cops I'm up against it Up against the jaw Throw the book I'm up against it Up against the law Politicians, all - i'm against them Fascist lackies all against the wall Fist of freedom Guns of freedom Bring the lackies Up against it Up against the wall Bring the bishop Up against it Up against the wall Bring the chairman Up against it Up against the wall Put the general Up against it Up against the wall!
