LYRICS
SONG 1 – Running Up That Hill
Intro 4 counts of 4. 123…
[Verse 1]
It doesn’t hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know it doesn’t hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deals they’re making?
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s You (It’s you)
It’s You and me (It’s You and me)
123412
[Chorus]
And if I only could
I’d make a deal with God
And I’d get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems.
[Verse 2]
Don’t wanna hurt me
See how deep the bullet lies
Unaware, I’m tearing you asunder
And there is thunder in our hearts (extra drop down for lower part).
Is there so much hate for the ones you love?
Tell me, we both matter, don’t we?
[Pre-Chorus]
You / You
You and me / You and me.. (keep holding….)
See I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
/ See I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
[Chorus]
And if I only could
I’d make a deal with God
And I’d get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building (short)
Say if I only could… 4/ 4/ 6
If I only could
I’d make a deal with God
And I’d get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building (hold)
If I only could
I’d make a deal with God
And I’d get him to swap our places
(I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby)
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building (hold)
(Come with me Friday don’t say maybe)
If I only could
I’d make a deal with God
And I’d get him to swap our places
(I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby)
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
(Don’t say maybe)
SONG 2 – Stick It To The Man
Intro 4 x 8 – (thighs clap x 16) ACTIONS
VERSE 1
When the world has screwed you (Make a FIST with the right hand on WHEN)
And crushed you in its fist
When the way you’re treated (THROW the fist down by your side on WHEN)
Has got you good and miffed
There’s been one solution (POINT your right index finger up on THERE’s)
Since the world began
Don’t just sit and take it (Sharply move hands out to side on DON’T)
Stick it to the man (Rock sign 🤘🏻)
Rant and rave and scream and shout
Get all of your aggression out
They try to stop you let ’em know
Exactly where they all could go
And do it just as loudly as you can
Stick it to the man
VERSE 2
Parents overwork ya? (Hands on hips on PARENTS)
Stick it to the man
Hate the way they jerk ya? (Fist to the front on HATE)
Stick it to the man
Tired of the system? (Drop the fist as if you are exhausted on TIRED)
Stick it to the man
Rise up and resist them (Point index finger and raise arms up slowly)
Stick it to the man (Rock sign 🤘🏻)
Break the rules, ignore the signs
And color way outside the lines
Go off the script, do what you like
They hate it, they can take a hike
Why live your life to someone else’s plan?
Stick it to the man
(ROCK OUT!!! 4 x 8 Drummer / Guitarist / Head banger / Thigh Clapper)
VERSE 3
Hate the politicians? (Point forward on HATE)
Stick it to the man
Had it with the hipsters? (Hands on hips on HAD)
Stick it to the man
Sick of ‘corporate culture’? (Do Quote marks on CORPORATE CULTURE)
Stick it to the man
Get up off your iPad (Throw arms up on GET)
And stick it to the man (Rock sign 🤘🏻)
Rock the house and make a scene
And crank the amps to 17
And scream until their ears are shot
They all can kiss your you-know-what
Do everything they ever tried to ban
Stick it to the man
VERSE 4
When the world has screwed you (Make a FIST with the right hand on WHEN)
And crushed you in its fist
When the way you’re treated (THROW the fist down by your side on WHEN)
Has got you good and miffed
There’s been one solution (POINT your right index finger up on THERE’s)
Since the world began
Don’t just sit and take it (Sharply move hands out to side on DON’T)
Stick it to the man
Rant and rave and scream and shout
And stick your stroppy chin right out
And wreck your room and rip your jeans
And show ’em what rebellion means
Why march to someone else’s caravan? (Turn to left corner with right foot )
Especially those you’re so much cooler than (Turn to right corner with left foot)
It’s time to throw some stuff against the fan (Throw with your right hand)
END SECTION
There’s no way you can stop (Sing into pretend mic in your right hand)
The Wilderness Children’s Choir… (Stretch left hand forward and up)
of Rock! (2,3,4,5,6,7,8). (Rock sign 🤘🏻on rock)
ALL: Stick it to the man (Push the rock sign higher on MAN)
