Turn it down you say, well all I got
 to say
Is time and time again I say no-- 
(no!)
No,no,no,no,no
Tell me not to play, well all I got 
to say
When you tell me not to play I say 
no-- (no!)
No,no,no,no,no
So if you ask me why I like the way 
I play
There's only one thing I can say to 
you
I wanna rock-- rock!
I want to rock-- rock!

There's a feeling that I get from 
nothing else
And ain't nothing in the world that 
makes me go-- (go!)
Go,go,go,go,go
Turn the power up, I waited for so 
long
so I can hear my favorite song, so 
let's go-- (go!)
Go,go,go,go,go
When it's like this I feel the music
 shooting through me
There's nothing else that i would 
rather do
