Lyrics:

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 doin' it since I was a young kid and I come out grinnin'
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins (Oh yeah!)

I call up my preacher, I say, 'Give me strength for round five'
He said, 'You don't need no strength, you need to grow up, son'
I said, 'Growin' up leads to growin' old and then to dyin'
Ooh, and dyin' to me don't sound like all that much fun'
And so I'll say

I fight authority, authority always wins
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins
Well, I've been doin' 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 (Kick it in)
I've been doin' it since I was a young kid and I come out grinnin'
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins
I've been doin' it since I was a young kid and I come out grinnin'
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins
So I said
I fight authority (Oh no), authority always wins (I said, oh no)
Well, I fight authority (I said, oh no), authority always wins (I said, oh no)
Well, I've been doin' it since I was a young kid (Oh no)
And I come out grinnin' (I said, oh no)
Well, I fight authority (Oh no), authority always wins (Oh no)
