Take It

 

Vocal intro band on verse (hard rock or melodic rap)
 

in          Those over 50 are those that are lost
            Locked in their values, stuck in stagnation
            Refuse to be changin', they go on racin'
            Us       all        to         decay
 
v1         Don't want to listen, or hear what we say
            Experience says, yours is the way
            Blind to the world, keep on waitin'
            Waitin' for the world to stop
 
br1        Stop steppin' backwards nowhere
            Where you're not goin' no time nowhere
            If you can't walk wake up, it's not time to make up
            Move -- as for us . . .
 
ch1       It's time to take the power.  Yeah
            Time to take the power.  Oh yeah
            Time to take the power.
            Take the mother fuckin' power.
 
v2         Your generation hits stagnation
            No change, no entropy
            Maybe you should roll on over, roll on over
            And make way for us.
 
br2        Stop steppin' backwards nowhere
            Where you're not goin' no time nowhere
            You had your chance, you danced the wrong way
            In your day, you had your say, now it's we who pay
 
Guitar solo
