People tell us that we play to 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 want to be good
That's why we don't want to 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 want to be watered down
Takin' orders from record company clowns

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

We're prisoners of rock and roll
