Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You woke up late for school, man you don't wanna go
You ask your mom please but she still says no
You missed two classes with no homework
Your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk, yeah
So we gotta fight for the right to party, yeah dig it
Over here, yeah, ow, ow, ow
Bring it down, bring it down, yeah, come on, dig it
We gotta special guest here tonight, one time only
Bling Bling is in the house
Well, your mom caught you smokin', man you said no way
Man that hypocrite she smokes two packs a day
Well, livin' at home is such a drag
My old lady threw away my best porno mag, busted
You gotta fight for the right to party, wooh, party
Yeah, now we gotta party, ow, hey, hey, hey, party
Yeah, let's go
Yeah, yeah, hey, hey, yeah, wooh
Yeah, just like that, what I'm talkin' about, busted
The song "Fight for Your Right to Party" by Jamie & the First Class is a classic anthem for anyone who has ever felt like they were being forced to conform to society's expectations. The lyrics describe a teenage rebellion against authority figures such as parents and teachers who try to control how they live their lives. The song begins with the singer waking up late for school and pleading with his mother to let him skip class. Despite his pleas, she insists that he must attend. He goes on to describe the frustrations of being trapped in a system that he feels is unfair, including being punished for missing classes and having his personal belongings confiscated by his mother. The chorus repeats the idea that they must "fight for the right to party," which represents their desire to break free from societal constraints and enjoy themselves.
