The Authority Song - John Mellencamp

Just the song and a visualization.Thumbs up/subs/comments are very much appreciated. Song belongs to UMG.

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

Chorus:
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
Ive come out grinnin
I fight authority, authority always wins

So 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 dont sound like all that much fun

Chorus:
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
Ive come out grinnin
I fight authority, authority always wins

I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
Ive come out grinnin
I fight authority, authority always wins
Oh no
Oh no
I fight authority, authority always wins

Chorus:
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
I've come out grinnin'
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
I've come out grinnin'
I fight authority, authority always wins

never in music history will anyone be able to beat the rock years..... from acdc / deff leopard/ guns and roses / john cougar to kiss / boston / journey / mcjagger / moody blues / who / and the list just keeps going ....... I lived thru the great 60's and 70's 80's and from the 90's on rock isnt the same and never will be. I will always hit the rewind button on the music years for nothing will ever beat these years.

I fight authority too. Authority always wins...

[BruinsFan2347]

@gevansmd well...seeing as Boston and Journey actually made good music, I'd take them off of that list...

[gevansmd]

@GreerMakesVideos IMO ac/dc, def leppard. g'nr, boston, journey were just the Justin Bieber's of their time, vapid, pedestrian, forgettable, mainstream crapola.
