At real hippy dippy schools the phrase "fight the man" is frequently heard. Fighting the man should not simply be reserved for the liberals and out of the box thinkers. We all need to fight the man or else the man will get us down. Who is this "man" that we so fervently speak of? Well, the man is any group or person that works to oppress others. Usually the man is an ingrained part of the societal structure. For example, the government or the school board. Though such institutions seem innocent, they are often highly flawed and corrupt. They tend to subvert what they claim to protect in their vows of goodness.
Well, here is my attempt at a poem/song/whatever to explain my current feelings on the world and my place within it.
FIGHT THE MAN
The shit they gotta do
It's the same ole story
Oh let me tell you
People got their problems
Problems all they got
So here are some of mine
Listen up -- why not
Graduate from college
Here's the catch 22
You ain't got no experience
So nobody gonna hire you
But to get that first job
You need what you ain't go
So good luck a lookin'
At career builder a lot
Stand up - Wake up - Get up - FIGHT!
Fight the man
Cause the man is never right
Flickers make a fire
Embers make it blue,
Build it a little higher
Gonna be all over you
The world is my oyster
Some people say that with zeal
The world is your oyster
Oh yeah, get real
Study hard in school
Makes you kinda smart
Don't forget to brown nose
Or you'll be working at K-mart
Stand up - Wake up - Get up - FIGHT!
Fight the man
Cause the man is never right
Economy has tanked
World down the shitter
But have no fear
Obama's a hard hitter
He promises to deliver
And so deliver he shall do
Cause his duty is to his country
Oh yeah dats me and you
Before you get too excited
Let us not forget
Obama's still a politician
And politicians are rarely legit
Stand up - Wake up - Get up - FIGHT!
Fight the man
Cause the man is never right
This song just about over
Soon you'll be off the hook
But don't forget the lessons learned
Cause you won't find em in a book
Stand up - Wake up - Get up - FIGHT!
Fight the man
Cause the man is never right
