[Verse 1]
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 screw us and ruin our band

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
When we're playin' in our old garage
The girls come over and it really gets hot
We don't wanna be watered down
Takin' orders from record company clowns

[Chorus]
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
We're prisoners of rock and roll
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
We're prisoners of rock and roll
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
We're prisoners of rock and roll
