(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!) Lyrics
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
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)
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

Wow, it is true. The irony of this song is lost on many listeners. Misaimed fandom, much? NEWSFLASH: This song is making fun of the very people who subscribe to this type of thinking. death by catapult is right: http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?id=650. Read the last two paragraphs.

Now your mom threw away your best porno mag (Bust it!)
it's busted not bust it

This song was actually making fun of all the songs that are like "Leave me alone, I can do what I want!" but everyone loved the song so much and thought it was serious so the Beastie Boys had to pretend it was serious. Check the Sounds of Science Anthology.

They don't like this song and won't do it live, my friend met them and they said so, so that's how I think of it

This is the most classic Beastie song, maybe not the best, but a classic!
