(you Gotta) Fight Your Right (to Party) Lyrics

[Music & words: Beastie Boys - R. Rubin]
[(c)&(p) 1986 Def Jam Music/Brooklyn Dust Music]

You wake up late for school - man you don't wanna go
You ask you mom, "Please?" - but she still says, "No!"
You missed 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

You pop caught you smoking - and 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 (Bust it!)

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 out of my home is 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
