Turn It Up (The Ballad Of Tipper Gore)

Tipper says, I can't, while I say I can

Better duck 'cause you know what just hit the fan

1984 in 1986

Putting us all in a terrible fix

Rock 'n' roll don't carry no guns

Rock 'n' roll never killed anyone

We take no promises and none of your lip

'Cause we ain't about to lie down and quit

Turn it up - loud

Don't turn it down

Gonna stand proud - proud

So turn it up loud

Freedom of speech gives us the right to rock

'Cause we ain't about to turn back the clock

To a brave new world void of all passion

Where silence is golden and the latest of fashion

Rock and roll was always meant to be

Rock and roll we want it on TV

You can't stop us with any of your laws

'Cause rockin' and rollin' is our fighting cause

Turn it up - loud

Don't turn it down

Gonna stand proud - proud

Turn it up loud

Hey, you know I got a good idea,

I think we ought to write

These people a nice long letter

With a brick taped to it

Would you help me throw it?

'Cause I feel, if it's too loud

You're too old

Turn it up - loud

Don't turn it down

Gonna stand proud - proud

Turn it up loud

Turn it up - loud

Don't turn it down

Gonna stand proud - proud

Turn it up loud
