I can't believe y'all are still sayin' We're a long way from rock'n'roll You won't look for the good in the tunes we're playin' You prefer to say we got no soul
But day after day in town after town People say we're doin' alright We play and we stay boogyin' down And rockin' on into the night
It's breath and words and time you're wastin' When you should be tryin' to have a good time For a good few years it's been yours we've tasted So here's a little piece of our mind
We'll roll and we'll roll and we'll roll and we'll roll Till we run out of reason to try If it happens you don't approve It don't matter we won't ask why
You can't keep a good band down You'll never find the solution You won't stop us runnin' around You're dealin' with an institution
We'll fill our cup with wine while you Fill your head with high ideals You know so much but you still can't touch Till you find out how it feels
It'll take much more than the high and mighty To bring down the king of the road We could still be friends and quit this fightin' And let the real story be told
You see you can't keep a good band down You'll never find the solution You won't stop us runnin' around You're dealin' with an institution
You can't keep a good band down You'll never find the solution You won't stop us runnin' around With your paragraphs of pollution
You see you can't keep a good band down You'll never find the solution You won't stop us runnin' around You're dealin' with an institution
You can't keep a good band down You'll never find the solution You won't stop us runnin' around With your paragraphs of pollution
You can't keep a good band down Let me tell ya You can't keep a good band down Let me tell ya
