[Verse 1: Todd Tilghman]
They like to get you in a compromising position
Well, they like to get you there and smile in your face
Oh, they think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
But I think it's a total disgrace
And I say

[Chorus: Blake Shelton]
I fight authority, Authority always wins
Yeah, I fight authority, Authority always wins

[Chorus 2: Todd Tilghman]
Well, I've been doing it since I was a young kid
And I come out grinnin', yeah
And I fight authority, Authority always wins
Oh yeah!

[Verse 2: Blake Shelton]
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, "Growin' up leads to growin' old and then to dyin'
Oh, and dyin' to me don't sound like all that much fun."
And so I'll say

[Chorus: Todd Tilghman]
I fight authority, Authority always wins
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins
[Chorus 2: Blake Shelton & Todd Tilghman]
Well, I've been doing it since I was a young kid
And I come out grinnin'
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins, yeah

[Bridge: Todd Tilghman]
I say: oh no, no no
I say: oh no, no no
I say: oh no, no no no
I fight authority, authority always wins
Yeah, I fight authority, authority always wins (Kick it in)

[Chorus 2: Blake Shelton & Todd Tilghman]
But I've been doing it since I was a young kid
And I come out grinnin'
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins
Well, I fight authority, authority always wins
