Authority Song - John Mellencamp

Oh, they like to get you in a compromising position

They like to get you there and smile in your face

Well, they think they’re so cute when they got you in that condition

Well I think it’s a total disgrace

And I said:

CHORUS:

I fight authority, Authority always wins

Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins

Well, I’ve been doing it since I was a young kid

I come out grinnin'

Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins

So I call up my preacher

I say, «Give me strength for Round 5.»

He said, «You don’t need no strength, you need to grow up son.»

I said, «Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying»

«OO and dying to me don’t sound like all that much fun.»

So I said:

CHORUS

I said Oh no no no (3X)

I fight authority Authority always wins

CHORUS (Reeapt several times)
