John Cougar Mellencamp Authority Song Lyrics

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

[Instrumental]

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.So I Say

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

[Instrumental]

Oh no oh no
I fight authority Authority always wins

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
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
