Lyrics Authority Song | John Mellencamp
Print
They like to get you in a
compromising position
And they like to get you there
and smile in your face
Yes, 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
When I fight authority
Authority always wins
Well, I've been doing it since
I was a young kid
and I come out grinning
When I fight authority
Authority always wins
I call my preacher
I say, "Give me a strength for Round Five"
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
"Ooh, and dying to me don't sound like all
that much fun."
So I say
I fight authority
Authority always wins
When I fight authority
Authority always wins
Well, I've been doing it since
I was a young kid
and I come out grinning
When I fight authority
Authority always wins
Oh, no no no no
Oh, no no no no
Oh, no no no no no
I fight authority
Authority always wins
I fight authority
Authority always wins
Well, I've been doing it since
I was a young kid
and I come out grinning
When I fight authority
Authority always wins
When, I fight authority
Authority always wins
When I fight authority
Authority always wins
Well, I've been doing it since
I was a young kid
and I come out grinning
When I fight authority
Authority always wins
And I say
When I fight authority
Authority always wins
When I fight authority
Authority always wins
Well, I've been doing it since
I was a young kid
and I come out grinning
When I fight authority
Authority always wins
