No matter how hard you try,
you can't stop us now

[Intro 2]
          D5  G5   F5
We're the renegades  of this atomic age
      D5 G5 D5
This atomic age of renegades
    D5  G5   F5
The renegades  of this atomic age

[Verse 1]
          C5 D5           C5 D5                      C5    D5
Since the Prehistoric ages   and the days of ancient Greece
      F5   G5
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
    C5   D5                  C5 D5
And then the Renaissance came   and times continued to
C5    D5
change
F5 G5
Nothing stayed the same but there were always renegades
           C5     D5          C5
Like Chief Sitting  Bull, Tom Paine
D5                         C5 D5
Doctor Martin Luther King, Malcolm X
          F5  G5
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades

[Chorus]
D5 G5 F5          D5 G5 D5
        We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
D5 G5 F5          D5 G5 D5
        We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

[Verse 2]
       C5 D5                  C5   D5             C5 D5
From a different solar system many many galaxies away
           F5    G5
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
          C5 D5                  C5 D5
And we're on this musical mission   to help the others
C5 D5
listen
    F5     G5
And groove from land to land singin' electronic chants like

[Bridge]
D5
Zulu nation and
Revelations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations

[Verse 3]
    C5  D5                  C5     D5               C5   D5
Now renegades are the people  with their own philosophies
                F5     G5
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
          C5  D5                    C5
We're the renegades we're the people
     D5             C5   D5
With our own philosophies
              F5     G5
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
C'mon

        We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

Will poppin', sockin',

      G5       A5
We're teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
Blessed with the force and the sight of electronics
    G5
The bass,
A5
  and treble the horns and our vocals
'Cause every time I pop into the beat we get fresh

[Interlude]
C'mon, ah! C'mon!

[Alternative Verse 2]
There was a time when our music
Was something called the Bay Street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade in those days
To take a man to the dance floor
