TITLE: Authority Song
Lyrics and Chords
They like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you with a smile on your face
Oh they think you're so cute when they got in that condition
Well I think it's a total disgrace, and I say
/ A - D E A - D E / :
{Refrain}
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
Call my preacher I said 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'
And dyin' to me don't sound like all that much fun, and so I say
{Refrain}
I say oh no...
{Refrain twice, first a cappella with hand claps}
