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 Chorus
