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

Don't look at me, don't touch me
Keep your mind straight ahead
Don't get no funny ideas about we
Or you'll wish that you were dead
That's what I'm thinking she must be thinking
The girl I spent 53 bucks on last night
She gives me a look from the corner of her eye
That says, "Boy, keep acting right."

When I was a young boy said put away those young boy ways
Now that I'm gettin' older, so much older I love all those young boy days
With a girl like you, with a girl like you
Lord knows there are things we can do, baby, just me and you
Come on and make it

CHORUS:
Hurt so good

Little ditty about jack and diane
Two american kids growin up in the heartland
Jackies gonna be a football star
Diane debutante backseat of jackies car

Suckin on chilli dogs outside the tastee freeze
Diane sittin on jackies lap
Hes got his hands between her knees

She had a dream
And boy it was a good one
So she chased after her dream
With much desire
But when she got too close
To her expectations
Well the dream burned up
Like paper in fire

They come from the cities
And they come from the smaller towns
Beat up cars with guitars and drummers
Goin crack boom bam

Chorus
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.

Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did My grandpa cleared this land
When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry there's no legacy for you now

A weh-aheh-aheh-ell
The little things you say and do
Make me want to be with you-oo-ooo
Rave on
It's a crazy feelin'
An-a I know it's got me reelin'
When you say, 'I love you'
Rave on

Small Town

Well I was born in a small town

And I live in a small town

Prob'ly die in a small town

If youВґre feeling shut down
May my thoughts be with you
If youВґre a black man beinВґ beat down
And shoved all around
May my thoughts be with you
If your worldВґs gettinВґ a little too tough
You know, our thoughts beinВґ with you
Hey, I know, that itВґs crazy out there

I'm tired of being grateful for a chance to take a dive
I'm sick of everything I do just to keep myself alive
When you cut away the skin that bears the brand
Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am

Standin' in the darkness
Someone call my name out
Standin' in the darkness

Here we are in the grays of winter
Here we are just me and you
Hold my hand, let's face tomorrow
Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you

This precious time we've only borrowed
The autumn winds have blown on through
A quiet thought will tell our story
