Lyrics Authority Song - John Mellencamp

Authority Song

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)
