They like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smille 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’ve come out grinnin’
I fight authority, authority always wins

So I call up my preacher
I say: gimme strenght 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


-John Mellencamp
