John Cougar Mellencamp I Fight Authority Lyrics

Well, they like to get you in a compromising position
They rally like to get you there and smile in your face
Yeah, they think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
Well I think it's a total disgrace

And I say:
I fight authority, Authority always wins
Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins
But I been doing it since I was a young kid and I come out grinnin'
Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins

C'mon man!

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
Uh, "And dying 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
But I been doing it since I was a young kid and 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 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 been doing it since I was a young kid and I come out grinnin'
Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins

And so I say:
I fight authority, Authority always wins (Oh no)
Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins (Oh no)
Well, I been doing it since I was a young kid and I come out grinnin' (Oh no)
Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins
