Lyrics for "Fight for Your Right"

Kick it

You wake up late for school, man, you don't wanna go
You ask your mom "Please," but she still says "No"
You miss two classes and no homework
But your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk

You gotta fight for your right to party

Your pops caught you smokin', man, he said "No way"
That hypocrite smokes two packs a day
Man, living at home is such a drag
Now, your mom threw away your best porno mag
Busted

You gotta fight for your right to party
You gotta fight

"Don't step out of this house if that's the clothes you're gonna wear"
"I'll kick you outta my home if you don't cut that hair"
Your mom busted in and said, "What's that noise?"
"Aw, mom, you're just jealous, it's the Beastie Boys"

You gotta fight for your right to party
You gotta fight for your right to party
Party, party
