I’ve Got a Problem with Authority
Chords: G C D Verses: G C A
I’ve got a problem with authority
I’ve got a problem with the police
They like to bother me
When I’m walking down the street
They ask a lot of questions
And when I try to answer
They get real mad at me
Then they beat me
I’ve got a problem with authority
I don’t like the judge or DA
They never give a fair trial
Or a trial at all
Or let me state my case
I’ve got a problem with authority
My right to counsel is a joke
Five minute sessions shackled
In an orange jumpsuit behind bars
In front of everyone in a courtroom
I’ve got a problem with authority
Because I can’t afford a lawyer
To protect me from this shit
The rich man walks on a murder charge
The poor man has to take it
The Bill of Rights is a lie
Unless you can buy it
I’ve got a problem with authority
And it’s not only just me.
Authority for the sake of authority
Is tyranny
