Baby, we were
Making straight A's
But we were stuck
In a dumb daze
Don't take much time
To memorize your lies
I feel like I have been hypnotized

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

And if you wanna be the teacher's pet
Well, baby, you just better forget it
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time

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
Oh, you know I was on the honor roll
Got good grades, and got no soul
Raise my hand before I can speak my mind
I've been biting my tongue too many times

When I climb to the top of Mount Rock
And I’m perched at the uppermost peak
With a legion of groupies all duking it out
For my chiseled rock god physique

And if you wanna be the teacher's pet
Well, baby, you just better forget it
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time

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
