[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I've been hanging around, waiting for my chance
To tell you what I think about the music that's gone down
To which you madly danced - frankly, you know that it stinks
I'm gonna scream, gonna shout
Gonna play my guitar
Until your body's rigid and you see stars

[Verse 2]
Now look at all the jerks in their leather bondage suits
Prancing around; look at all the nerks
In their tinsel glitter suits
Making with the heavy sound...
I'm gonna scream, gonna shout
Gonna play my guitar till I'm ill -
If the guitar don't get ya, the drums will

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Oh, now's my big break - let me up on the stage
I'll show you what it's all about;
Enough of the fake
Bang your feet in a rage
Tear down the walls and let us out!
We're way more than mere morons, perpetually conned
So come on, everybody
Smash the system with the song
Come on, everybody
Smash the system with the song
Come on, everybody
[Outro]
Smash the system with the song!
