Problem with Authority

from stir that mule up by Short Hand

lyrics

It’s not the smart thing
It’s not the wise move
It’s not a good strategy
It’s my problem with authority

I say take this
I say take that
By the time I was three
It’s my problem with authority

And I could guess how I got it
And I’d probably be right
You’d guess that I’m sorry
But I still want to fight

It’s like a halo
Or a storm cloud
Hovering well above me
It’s my problem with authority

If it’s not this
It’s some other
It’s a sister and a brother
It’s my problem with authority

I say one word
I say two words
I say just what I mean
It’s my problem with authority

I could sleep in the shadow
I could stand in the light
I can’t stand for a handshake
But I’ll stand up to fight

It’s so obvious
Such an elephant
With such a long memory
It’s my problem with authority

Not the smart move
Not the wise play
Not a good strategy
It’s my problem with authority

In the end, a set of sounds collect themselves into different shapes one might call "albums." Some sound like this and some sound like that. ... more
