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
Whoa oh oh oh oh
We're prisoners of rock and roll

When we're 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
(No no no)
That's why we don't wanna be good
Whoa oh oh oh oh
We're prisoners of rock and roll

Whoa oh oh oh oh prisoners of rock and roll
Whoa oh oh oh oh prisoners of rock and roll
