Song Lyrics

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
