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) |
