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)
