You've got to do
Everything you thing you should do
Get on the streets and cause a riot
You can't deny it

You've got to say
Everything you think you should say
If someone tries to criticize you
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Yeah yeah!

Don't let 'em get you 'cause it don't mean nothing
Don't let 'em get you 'cause it sure means nothing
They're only words

They can tell you what is right
And they can tell you what is wrong
You make up your mind
Make up your mind

You got to be
Everything you know you can be
If someone tries to hold you down now
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Yeah yeah!

Don't let 'em get you 'cause it don't mean nothing
Don't let 'em get you 'cause it sure means nothing
They're only words [2x]

Don't let 'em get you 'cause it don't mean nothing
Don't let 'em get you 'cause it sure means nothing
They're only words [2x]
