| Authority Song | |
| They like to get you in a compromising position | |
| They like to get you there and smille in your face | |
| They think, they’re so cute when they got you in that condition | |
| Well I think, it’s a total disgrace | |
| Chorus: | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I been doing it, since I was a young kid | |
| I’ve come out grinnin’ | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| So I call up my preacher | |
| I say: gimme strenght 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 | |
| Chorus: | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I been doing it, since I was a young kid | |
| I’ve come out grinnin’ | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I been doing it, since I was a young kid | |
| I’ve come out grinnin’ | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| Oh no | |
| Oh no | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| Chorus: | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I been doing it, since I was a young kid | |
| I’ve come out grinnin’ | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins | |
| I been doing it, since I was a young kid | |
| I’ve come out grinnin’ | |
| I fight authority, authority always wins |
