Authority Song
John 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 :|| CHORUS80s 80s wave americana americore classic rock Favorite feelgood Heartland Roots Rock mellencamp party Pop Life rock
