Cover this semi-cheezy, semi-charming Neil Young song, goddamnit!
Give RITFW a rest.


It's short. To the point. Rocks hard enough as is. Would result in "slammin" if PJ did it, and is fitting, given that PJ gave the finger to "the Record Company Man".
Prisoners of Rock N Roll
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 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 (just change this to "the tunes are blazin', & it sure gets hot", and avoid the implicit misogyny, if that bothers ya')
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.

If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand?
