prisoners of rock 'n roll lyrics

The searchlight cuts through the heart of the night
We know your out there, don't put up a fight
If you resist you're gonna miss all the fun
From that backbeat rhythm you just can't escape
You can plan your break but baby your gonna surrender
Baby, you're under the gun

Let it down just as far as you can
Shakin' violation again and again
So come on, rock 'n roll prisoners
Let the music turn the key to your soul
There is no escaping when the joint is shakin'
We're prisoners, prisoners of rock 'n roll, oh no

I was just a boy when the music took hold
Watchin' the stones on the Sullivan show
I was hooked, their rockin' took me away
Well, I made my dreams and I made my plans
Now I'm out on the road and got my home in my hand
And I'm lonely, sometimes it's a ball and a chain

Let it down just as far as you can
Shakin' violations again and again and again
Rock 'n roll prisoners
Come on, prisoners rock 'n roll

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Let it down just as far as you can
Shakin' violation again and again
So come on, so come on, so come on
Rock 'n roll prisoners

Let the music turn the key to your soul
There's no escaping when the joint is shaking
We're prisoners, prisoners rock 'n roll

Oh no, oh, oh
Just a prisoner
