The searchlight cuts through the heart of the night

We know your out there, don't put up a fight

If you resist your gonna miss all of the fun

From that backbeat rhythm you just can't escape

You can plan your break, but baby your gonna surrender

Baby your under the gun



Let it down just as far as you can

Shakin' violation again and again

So come on rock and 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 and 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 had 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 its a ball and a chain



Let it down just as far as you can

Shakin' violations again and again and again

Rock and roll prisoners

Come on rock and roll prisoners



Guitar solo



Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Let it down just as far as you can

Shakin' violation again and again

So come on

Come on

Come on

Come on rock and roll prisoners

Let the music turn the key to your soul

There's no escaping when the joint is shaking

We're prisoners, prisoners of rock and roll

Oh no

Just a prisoner.....
