Lyrics

Written by: john mellencamp

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)
