They like to get you in a compromising position They like to get you there and smile in your face They think, it's so cute when they got you in that condition Well, I think that it is a total disgrace
And I say when I fight authority, authority always wins When I fight authority, authority always wins I been doing it, since I was a young kid and I've come out grinnin' When I fight authority, authority always wins
Well, I call up my preacher and I say, "Gimme strength for round five" He said, "You don't need 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"
And I say, when I fight authority, authority always wins When I fight authority, authority always wins I been doing it, since I was a young kid and I've come out grinnin' When I fight authority, authority always wins
I said, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won
When I fight authority, authority always wins When I fight authority, authority always wins Well, I been doing it, since I was a young kid and I've come out grinnin' When I fight authority, authority always wins
And I say, when I fight authority, authority always wins When I fight authority, authority always wins I been doing it, since I was a young kid and I've come out grinnin' When I fight authority, authority always wins
