I've been hanging around
Waiting for my chance
To tell you what I think
About the music that's gone down
To which you madly danced
Frankly, you know that it stinks
I'm gonna scream, gonna shout, gonna play my guitar
Until your body's rigid and you see stars

Look at all the jerks
In their tinsel glitter suits, pansying around
Look at all the nerks
In their leather platform boots, making with the heavy sound
I'm gonna stamp on the stardust and scream till I'm ill
If the guitar don't get ya, the drums will

Now's my big break, let me up on the stage
I'll show you what it's all about
Enough of the fake
Bang your feet in a rage
Tear down the walls and let us out!
We're more than mere morons, perpetually conned
So come on everybody, smash the system with the song
Come on everybody, smash the system with the song

Smash the system with the song!
