John Mellencamp Authority Song Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
Oh, they like to get you in a compromising position.
And 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 to-tal disgrace!
And I say:
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
And I come out grinnin'.
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins.
(Go! Go!)
[Instrumental/Guitar Break]
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, "Growin' up leads to growin' old an' then to dyin'.
Ooh and dyin' to me don't sound like all that much fun."
And so I say:
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.
[Instrumental/Guitar Break]
I say, Oh, no, no, no!
I say, Oh, no, no, no!
I say, Oh, no, no, no, no!
I fight authority, authority always wins.
I fight authority, authority always wins.
(Kick it in!)
I've been doing it since I was a young kid
And I come out grinnin'.
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins.
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins.
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins.
I've been doing it since I was a young kid
And I come out grinnin'.
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins.
(Go! I say!)
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins.
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins.
[Fade]
Well, I've been doing it since I was a young kid
And I come out grinnin'.
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins.
