Lyrics John Mellencamp – Authority Song
Text:
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
