Authority Song

John Cougar 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
