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.
