6. _ Authority Song
they like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smille 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
I've come out grinnin'
I fight authority, authority always wins
So i call up my preacher
I say: "gimme strenght 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 don't 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
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
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

7. _ I Need A Lover
(instrumental)
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
(i need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Some girl that knows the meaning of, ah-
Hey hit the highway!
Well i've been walking the streets in the evenin'
Racin' through the human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey - i'm so weak, won't somebody shut off that light?
Electricity runs thru the video
And i watch it from this hole i call home
And all them stonies are dancin' to the radio
And i got the world callin' me up free tonight on the phone
(i need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
Some girl who'll thrill me and then go away
(i need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
Some girl that knows the meaning of ah-
Hey hit the highway!
Well i'm not wiped out by this poolroom life i'm livin'
I'm gonna quit this job, and go to school, and head back home
(head back home)
Now i'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven
Hey - i just can't face shakin' in this bedroom
One more night alone
(i need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
(i need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
(i need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
Some girl that knows the meaning of ah-
Hey hit the highway!
(instrumental)
(i need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
Some girl to thrill me and then go away
(i need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
Some girl that knows the meaning of ah-
Hey hit the highway!
You betcha'

8. _ Small Town
Well i was born in a small town
And i live in a small town
Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me
But i've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an l.a. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me
No i cannot forget where it is that i come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, i can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what i want to be
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me
Well i was born in a small town
And i can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me

9. _ Crumblin' Down
Some people ain't no damn good
You can't trust 'em, you can't love em
No good deed goes unpunished
And i don't mind being their whipping boy
I've had that pleasure for years and years
No, no i never was a sinner-tell me what else can i do
Second best is what you get-till you learn to bend this rules
Time respects no person-what you lift up must fall
They're waiting outside-to claim my crumblin' walls
Saw my picture in the paper
Read the news around my face
And now some peopkle
Don't want to treat me the same
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down
Some people say i'm obnoxious and lazy
That i'm uneducated and my opinipn means nothin'
But i know i'm a real good dancer
Don't need to look over my shoulder to see what i'm after
Everybody's got their problems-ain't no new news here
I'm the same old trouble you've been having for years
Don't confuse the problem with the issue, girl,
'cause it's perfectly clear
Just a human desire to have you come near
Want to put my arms around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me you can break me
But you better stand clear
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down

10. _ Pink Houses
There's a black man with a black cat
Living in a black neighbourhood
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
You know, he think, that he's got it so good
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evening slop
And he looks at her and says: "hey darling, i can remember when you could stop a clock"
Chorus:
Oh but ain't that america for you and me
Ain't that america we're someting to see baby
Ain't that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me
Well there's a young man in a t-shirt
Listening to a rockin' rollin' station
He's got a greasy hair, greasy smile
He says: "lord, this must be my destination"
'cuz they told me, when i was younger
"boy, you're gonna be president"
But just like everyting else, those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went
Chorus:
Oh but ain't that america for you and me
Ain't that america we're someting to see baby
Ain't that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me
Well there's people and more people
What do they know know know
Go to work in some high rise
And vacation down at the gulf of mexico
Ohhh yeah
And there's winners, and there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
'cuz the simple man baby pays for the thrills,
The bills and the pills that kill
Chorus:
Oh but ain't that america for you and me
Ain't that america we're someting to see baby
Ain't that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me
Oh but ain't that america for you and me
Ain't that america we're someting to see baby
Ain't that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

Well i lived on the outskirts of town
In an eight room farmhouse, baby
When my brothers and friends were around
There was always somethin |
12. _ Ain't Even Done With The Night
Ain't even done with the night
Well our hearts beat like thunder
I don't know why they don't explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And sam cooke's singin' on the radio
You say that i'm the boy who can make it all come true
Well i'm tellinya that i don't know if i know what to do
Chorus:
You say that's all right, hold tight
Well i don't even know if i'm doin' this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night
Well it's time to go home
And i ain't even done with the night
Well i don't know no good come-ons
And i don't know no cool lines
I feel the heat of your frustration
I know it's burnin you up deep down inside
You say that i'm the boy who can make it all come true
Well i'm tellin ya that i don't know if i know what to do
Chorus

13. _ R.o.c.k. In The U.s.a (a Salute To The 60
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.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a., yeah, yeah!
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Said goodbye to their families
Said goodbye to their friends
With pipe dreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands
Some are black and some are white
Ain't to proud to sleep on the floor tonight
With the blind faith of jesus you know that they just might, be
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Hey!
Voices from nowhere
And voices from the larger towns
Filled our head full of dreams
Turned the world upside down
There was frankie lyman-bobby fuller-mitch ryder
(they were rockin')
Jackie wilson-shangra-las-young rascals
(they were rockin')
Spotlight on martha reeves
Let's don't forget james brown
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Hey!
Chorus:
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a., yeah, yeah!
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
