(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)

Kick it! 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 Your pops 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 (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 out of 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
