Tipper says, I can't, while I say I can
Better duck 'cause you know what just hit the fan
1984 in 1986

Putting us all in a terrible fix
Rock 'n' roll don't carry no guns
Rock 'n' roll never killed anyone

We take no promises and none of your lip
'Cause we ain't about to lie down and quit


Turn it up - loud
Don't turn it down
Gonna stand proud - proud

So turn it up loud

Freedom of speech gives us the right to rock

'Cause we ain't about to turn back the clock
To a brave new world void of all passion
Where silence is golden and the latest of fashion

Rock and roll was always meant to be
Rock and roll we want it on TV
You can't stop us with any of your laws

'Cause rockin' and rollin' is our fighting cause

Turn it up - loud

Don't turn it down
Gonna stand proud - proud
Turn it up loud


Hey, you know I got a good idea,
I think we ought to write

These people a nice long letter
With a brick taped to it
Would you help me throw it?

'Cause I feel, if it's too loud
You're too old


Turn it up - loud
Don't turn it down
Gonna stand proud - proud

Turn it up loud

Turn it up - loud

Don't turn it down
Gonna stand proud - proud
Turn it up loud
