http://www.mellencamp.com John Mellencamp. There is only one John J. Mellencamp. Someone asked me who was the best at Farm Aid 2013. I rarely respond to questions like this when attending a day-long music event. Favorites? All of them. Who kicked the most ass? It was the John Mellencamp band. Hands down. I have seen all these artists play multiple times in various venues on many tours. This band kicked ass and took names on this night. It is hard to capture that on video. You have to go be there in person and you have to experience it live. That is the way to feel the energy and that is the way you make that hair on the back of your neck stand up. That is the only way. So go buy a ticket while you can and go see this band. I will wager my money that you will not be disappointed. They TOTALLY rock!
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
I fight authority, Authority always wins
I fight authority, Authority always wins
I been doing it since I was a young kid
I come out grinnin’
I fight authority, Authority always wins
So I call up my preacher
I say, “Give me 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 don’t sound like all that much fun.”
Oh no oh no
I fight authority Authority always wins
