Authority Song
Mellencamp, John

They like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smile in your face
They think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
Well I think it's a total disgrace... and I say

I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it since I was a young kid, I come out grinnin'
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
And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun, and so I said,

I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it since I was a young kid, I come out grinnin'
I fight authority, authority always wins

[Solo]

I said, oh no! no-no
I said, oh no! no-no
I said, oh no! no-no-no
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins (kick it in)

I been doing it since I was a young kid, I come out grinnin'
Well I fight authority, authority always wins
Well I fight authority, authority always wins
Well I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it since I was a young kid, and I come out grinnin'
Well I fight authority, Authority always wins

I fight authority, authority always wins
Well I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it since I was a young kid, and I come out grinnin'
Well I fight authority, Authority always wins
