They like to get you in a compromising position
Well, they like to get you there and smile in your face
Yeah, they think they`re so cute when they got you in that condition
But I think it`s a total 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
(Oh yeah!)

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 and then to dyin`
Ooo, and dyin` to me don`t sound like all that much fun."
And so I`ll 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



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

So I said
I fight authority, authority always wins (Oh no)
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins (Oh no no)
Well, I`ve doing it since I was a young kid (Oh no)
And I come out grinnin` (Oh no)
Well, I fight authority and authority always wins
