C5                         F5     G5        C5      F5 G5
They like to get you in a compromising position
C5                    F5           G5         C5   F5  G5
They like to get you there smile in your face
     C5                F5              G5                  C5     F5 G5
They think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
     C5              F5  G5      C5     F5     G5
Well I think it's a total disgrace, and I say

CHORUS:
C5                  F5         G5      C5    F5  G5  
I fight authority, Authority always wins
      C5                  A5        G5         C5   F5 G5
Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins
              C5                      F5               G5        C5       F5 G5
Well,  I been doing it since I was a young kid and I come out grinnin'
      C5                  F5         G5         C5   F5 G5
Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins. 


Verse 2:
C5                             F5       G5            C5        F5 G5         
I call up my preacher I say, "Give me strength for Round 5."
          C5                 F5                     G5         C5   F5 G5 
He said, "You don't need no strength, you need to grow up son."
        C5                    A5              G5       C5    F5  G5
I said, "Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying
     A5                F5          G5             C5      
"And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun."
         G5
And so I say,
