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
