Oh, they like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smile in your face
Well, they think they’re so cute when they got you in that condition
Well I think it’s a total disgrace
And I said:
CHORUS:
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
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»
«OO and dying to me don’t sound like all that much fun.»
So I said:
CHORUS
I said Oh no no no (3X)
I fight authority Authority always wins
CHORUS (Reeapt several times)
10 out of 10 song & video and the meaning of it rules! Authority in any form that goes to far with power can Fuck off! This song is so Me! Best videos ever too! I actually wear only cut off sleeves! Haha!

This was my nephews "fight" song back in 1990. They were trying to kick him out of school because he had AIDS. He was 13. He won and got to go back to school. Like John Cougar, we are from Indiana. Small town called Knightstown. He got the virus from being a hemophilia and having to have blood transfusions. Sadly, he passed away from complications from the desiese at 17 years old in 1995 Rest in heaven Paul ( PJ) Conley. Love and miss you forever!!! Still fighting for a cure honey!!!
