| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun" | |
| So I said | |
| 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 said ‽Oh no no noâ€, I said ‽Oh no no no†| |
| I said ‽Oh no no no†| |
| 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 | |
| Well, I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| ... |
