Lyrics:
Well, 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

I call up my preacher
I say, "Give me the 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
"Ooh, and dying to me don't sound like all that much fun"
So 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, 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

Well, I've been doing it since I was a young kid and I come out grinnin'
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins

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
