Fight for Your Right
Richard Cheese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wake up late for school, man you don't wanna go
'Cause you'd rather stay at home watching [Incomprehensible] show
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
Well, your daddy 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 country mag, busted
You gotta fight for your right to party
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
Well, your mom busted in and said what's that noise?
Mom you're just jealous it's the Big and Rich Boys
You gotta fight for your right to party
You gotta fight for your right to party
Party, party
The lyrics to Richard Cheese's version of Fight For Your Right are a humorous take on the original song by the Beastie Boys. The song is about rebellious youth who don't want to conform to societal norms and expectations. The singer starts off by describing a lazy morning where he doesn't want to go to school and would rather stay home watching TV. He's already missed two classes and hasn't done his homework, but his teacher still expects him to act like a model student. The singer then talks about how his father caught him smoking and told him he couldn't do it, despite being a hypocrite who smokes himself. The singer finds living at home to be a drag and feels like his individuality is being stifled. His mother throws away his favorite magazine, and he's forbidden from wearing certain clothes or hairstyles. However, despite all of these obstacles, the singer encourages himself and others to fight for their right to party.
The song is a commentary on youth culture and rebellion. It's a call to action for young people who feel like they're not being taken seriously or allowed to express themselves. The lyrics are tongue-in-cheek and satirical, poking fun at the very idea of "fighting" for the right to party. However, at its core, the song is about standing up for oneself and refusing to conform to arbitrary rules and expectations.
