lyrics

spank me honey, i'm stealing the juice
i'm a bad burning baby and i'm on the loose
got a firecracker cigarette, i'm cutting the wires
i stay true to a tee until i've gotta lie
and you can say it with me
or you can say whatever you choose

they like to break it, break it, break it off
break off the hinges of the gates to the very top
let us out we've got a mother #$%^in' country to run
we keep 'em comin', comin', comin', comin'
as soon as you lay your cold intensions out
they'll probably be looking for you
the last thing you want is to bottle up a burning fuse

let's just leave it alone
we were doing fine without this
sure we're headed to hell
we are fine with that just let us be us
rock n roll
don't think we'll ever just do what we're told
you and i ain't growing old

you’re taking words words words right out of my mouth
i've got your number, got you covered, bet you’re wanting out
and we will fight through hell's becoming icy and clean
so put your mother &*^$in’ coat on, you're about to freeze
we push it to the edge
they're saying we don't have to stop where you said
i got you pegged for a hypocrite
i bet you think you're really slick

let's just leave it alone
we were doing fine without this
sure we're headed to hell
we are fine with that just let us be us
rock n roll
i think i love you, but talk is cheap and oh
we do it our way, our way is all

i bet you've found a way to let change
come embrace us all for your cause
you’ve got it wrong little one
you have alienated us all
rock n roll
they took our radios, they took our smokes
but we can't be stopped by some honkey’s vote
