Chorus: And I say when I fight authority, authority always wins When I fight authority, authority always wins I been doing it, since I was a young kid And Ive come out grinnin' When I fight authority, authority always wins
Well I call up my preacher I say: gimme 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
Chorus: And I say, when I fight authority, authority always wins When I fight authority, authority always wins I been doing it, since I was a young kid And Ive come out grinnin When I fight authority, authority always wins
Oh no!
I fought the law, and the law one (x4) Hey!
When I fight authority, authority always wins When I fight authority, authority always wins I been doing it, since I was a young kid And Ive come out grinnin When I fight authority, authority always wins
And I say, when I fight authority, authority always wins When I fight authority, authority always wins I been doing it, since I was a young kid And Ive come out grinnin When I fight authority, authority always wins
