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.
