People tell us
that we play too loud
But they don't know

what our music's about
We never listen
to the record company man

They try to change us
and ruin our band.


That's why we don't wanna be good
That's why we don't wanna be good
We're prisoners of rock and roll.


When were jammin'
in our old garage

The girls come over
and it sure gets hot
We don't wanna be watered down

Takin' orders
from record company clowns.


That's why we don't wanna be good
That's why we don't wanna be good
We're prisoners of rock and roll.


We're prisoners of rock and roll.
