Words and music by John Kay and Michael Wilk



Right here, right now, I want it

I just got to get my share of the pie

I've been watching from the sidelines

I've been waitin' in the wings

Now it's my turn and I will not be denied

No more livin' like a rock & roll refugee

If you see me streakin' by, watch out for me



I'm a man on a mission darlin'

I'm about to turn the tide

I'm a man on a mission, baby

And I will not be denied



No more, no way I've had it

This has got to be the end of the line

I'm done payin' for my freedom

I'm done payin' all my dues

Now I'm burnin' down the track

In my face against time

And it's stand and deliver by hook or crook

So it you see me come into view 

Look out I'm comin' through



I'm a man on a mission darlin'

I'm about to turn the tide

I'm a man on a mission, baby

And I will not be denied

No matter what, ain't gonna stop 'til I get satisfied
