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 doing 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 5'
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 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 (Kick it in)
I've been doing 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 doing 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, authority always wins (Oh, no)
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins (Oh, no, no)
Well, I've been doing it since I was a young kid (Oh, no)
And I come out grinnin' (Oh, no)
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins
