Authority Song
John Mellencamp
Letra

Álbum: Uh-Huh ( 1983)

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]
