Now they want to take away
Everything you haven't got
Coz it's the little things you have
That means such a lot
And the best years of your life
Are the worst you can remember
They say you've got it good
Coz they know they've got it better

You can't fight the power
When you ain't got the power to fight
And the only rights that you need to know
Are to know that you've got no rights

Now we're down on our knees
Trying to find our feet
Got to stop my heart from missing a repetitive beat
It's wrong to steal they hate the competition
They keep taking away our optimism

Don't let those feelings fool you
You've still got a lot to give
Hey hey hey
We all struggle to exist
But it's not where you live it's where you live

[Chorus]
Speed up the breakdown
We got you all sussed out
Speed up the breakdown
We got you all sussed out

Now it's a wonderful world of destiny
New confrontations everyday
We've got the best control that money can buy
But we still seem to lose it anyway

You can't fight the power
When you ain't got the power to fight
And the only rights that you need to know
Are to know that you've got no rights

[Chorus]
Speed up the breakdown
We got you all sussed out
Speed up the breakdown
We got you all sussed out
