I hear the guitars ringin' out   Ringin' out down union street   I hear the lead singer shoutin' out, girl   I wanna be a slave to the beat   Yeah, tonight I wanna break my chains   Somebody break my heart   Somebody shake my brains   Downtown there's something that I wanna hear   There's a sound, little girl, keeps ringing in my ear      Chorus:   I wanna be where the bands are   I wanna be where the bands are   Where the bands are   I wanna be where the bands are   I get off from work and I grab something to eat   I turn the corner and I drive down your street   Little gray houses darling looks like nowhere   But hey I know you're hiding in there   Come on out for just a little while   You know that heart of stone, girl, it just ain't your style   Tonight I wanna feel the beat of the crowd   And when I tell you that I love you   I wanna have to shout it out loud   Shout it out loud      (chorus)      I hear the guitars ringin' out again   Ringin' on down union street   I hear the lead singer shoutin' out and girl   I wanna be a slave to the beat   And I want something that'll break my chains   Something to break my heart   Something to shake my brains   There's a rocker's special on tonight   So meet me on down   'neath the neon lights      (chorus)
