AUTHORITY SONG
--------------
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_cougar_mellencamp/authority_song_crd.html ]
A                         D     E        A      D E
They like to get you in a comprimising position
A                         D       E       A     D E
They like to get you with a smile on your face
A                                      D      E       A      D E
Oh they think you're so cute when they got in that condition
A                   D E      A      D     E
Well I think it's a total disgrace, and I say

CHORUS
A                    D       E      A      D  E
I fight authority, authority always wins
well I fight authority, authority always wins
well I've been doin' it since I was a young boy and I come out winnin'
well I fight authority, authority always wins


Call my preacher I said 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'
and dyin' to me don't sound like all that much fun, and I say

CHORUS

i say oh no...

CHORUS (a cappella with hand claps)


there might be another verse, i don't have the CD with me, that's from
memory, any other Mellencamp you need, let me know, i consider myself
an efficianato...
