You've got to do everything 
You thing you should do 
Get on the streets and cause a riot 
You can't deny it 

You've got to say everything 
You think you should say 
If someone tries to criticize you 
Oh, oh, oh, yeah 
Yeah yeah! 

Don't let em get you ‘cause it don't mean nothing 
Don't let em get ‘cause it sure means nothing 
They're only words 

They can tell you what is right 
And they can tell you what is wrong 
You make up your mind 
Make up your mind 

You got to be everything 
You know you can be 
If someone tries to hold you down now 
Oh, oh, oh, yeah 
Yeah yeah! 

Don't let em get you ‘cause it don't mean nothing 
Don't let em get ‘cause it sure means nothing 
They're only words 

Uh 

Yeah yeah!

Don't let em get you ‘cause it don't mean nothing 
(don't mean nothing) 
Don't let em get ‘cause it sure means nothing (sure 
means nothing) 
They're only words 

Don't let em get you ‘cause it don't mean nothing 
(don't mean nothing) 
Don't let em get ‘cause it sure means nothing (sure 
means nothing) 
They're only words
