I made a rock and roll sin when I tried giving in to make money, had to turn down low They said, why be proud, don't play so loud, be like us and get a sound that's real thin Wear a polyester suit, act happy, look cute, get a haircut if I swore in That's when I turned to them and said, hold it right there Well it's more to me than just a job, and while I'm playing you won't get robbed Nobody tells a man how to play, it just ain't that way Can you hear me say Oh man, play on ten, never gonna turn down again Oh man, play on ten, never gonna turn down I'm Jack's new honey, plug me into 220, step back and let my fingers fly While I'm burning up my gear, there's a fire in your ear that won't stop until the day you die I really put it to the floor when I hear the crowd roar, oh it's music to my ears when they scream And then I run back to the power rack and deck all of my gear Well it's more to me than just a job, and while I'm playing you won't get robbed Nobody tells a man how to play, it just ain't that way baby Can you hear me say Oh man, play on ten, never gonna turn down again Oh man, play on ten, never gonna turn down again I'm a liar, it's more to me than just a job, and while I'm playing you won't get robbed Nobody tells a man how to play, it just ain't that way Can you hear me say Oh man, play on ten, never gonna turn down again Oh man, play on ten, never gonna turn down again
