Authority Song — John Mellencamp

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

Chorus

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.

Chorus

Oh no oh no I fight authority Authority always wins

Chorus
