When the world has screwed you
And crushed you in its fist
When the way you're treated
Has got you good and pissed
There's been one solution
Since the world began
Don't just sit and take it
Stick it to the man
Rant and rave and scream and shout
Get all of your aggression out
They try to stop you let 'em know
Exactly where they all could go
And do it just as loudly as you can
Stick it to the man!
Parents overwork ya?
Stick it to the man!
Hate the way they jerk ya?
Stick it to the man!
Tired of the system?
Stick it to the man!
Rise up and resist them
Stick it to the man!
Break the rules, ignore the signs
And color way outside the lines
Go off the script, do what you like
They hate it, they can take a hike
Why live your life to someone else's plan?
Stick it to the man!
Put some of it into your music!
♪
It's the politicians!
Stick it to the man!
Had it with the hipsters?
Stick it to the man!
Sick of corporate culture?
Stick it to the man!
Get off your iPad
Stick it to the man!
Rock the house and make a scene
And crank the amps to 17
And scream until their ears are shot
They all can kiss your you-know-what
Do everything they ever tried to ban
Stick it to the man!
When the world has screwed you
And crushed you in its fist
When the way you're treated
Has got you good and pissed
There's been one solution
Since the world began
Don't just sit and take it
Stick it to the man!
Rant and rave and scream and shout
And stick your middle finger out
And wreck your room and rip your jeans
And show 'em what rebellion means
Why march to someone else's caravan?
Especially those you're so much cooler than?
It's time to throw some shit against the fan!
There's no way you can stop
The school of rock
Stick it to the man!
