Lyrics


1. ROCK 'N' ROLL MACHINE

Rock 'n' roll machine.
I'm an American teenage raider.
You better be in by eleven o'clock,
But I never come in 'til later.

What you gonna do?
Where you gonna go?
I ain't in to going steady.
Don't do this, don't do that.
I'll grow up when I'm ready.
And I don't wanna be just a weekend kid,
I wanna party whenever I can.

[Chorus:]
'Cause I don't care about going to school.
And I don't care about having friends.
And I don't care 'cause I'm a rock 'n' roll machine.

It's a Saturday night,
And I'm looking for some party action.
I don't care about getting laid,
I want some quick and easy satisfaction.

What you gonna do?
Where you gonna go?
I ain't in to going steady.
Don't do this, don't do that.
I'll grow up when I'm ready.
And I don't wanna be just a weekend kid,
I wanna party whenever I can.

[Chorus]

Rock rock rock 'n' roll
Rock rock rock 'n' roll
Rock rock rock 'n' roll
Rock rock rock 'n' roll

It's a Saturday night,
And I'm looking for some party action.
I don't care about getting laid,
I want some quick and easy satisfaction.

What you gonna do?
Where you gonna go?
I ain't in to going steady.
Don't do this, don't do that.
I'll grow up when I'm ready.
And I don't wanna be just a weekend kid,
I wanna party whenever I can.

[Chorus]

Rock rock rock 'n' roll
Rock rock rock 'n' roll
Rock rock rock 'n' roll
Rock rock rock 'n' roll

2. YOU MAKE ME HOT

Standin' over there, waggin' your hair,
There's something that you do.
Long and lean, rock 'n' roll machine,
I just wanna get with you.

[Chorus:]
Come on, come on. I just wanna tell you.
Come on, come on. I just wanna touch you.
Come on, come on. I'm talkin' to you.
You make me hot!

Yeah, I wanna touch you.
Yeah, I wanna grab you.
Yeah, I wanna hold you tight.
You can run but you can't hide.
I just wanna get you tonight.

[Chorus]

Yeah, I wanna touch you.
Yeah, I wanna grab you.
Yeah, I wanna hold you tight.
You can run but you can't hide.
I just wanna get you tonight.

3. CHECKIN' IT OUT

I know what I want tonight, and I see it coming off the street.
I'm going nowhere and I'm only seventeen.
I know about gettin' it on, and I want a little piece of you.
I'm thinking about taking a bite if you know what I mean.

Oh no. Oh no. I don't care what you wanna do.
Oh no. Oh no. I'm checkin' it out. That's right.

[Chorus:]
So don't try stopping my buzz, 'cause I'm checkin' it out.
(Check, check, checkin' it out)
And I don't care about you, 'cause I'm checkin' it out.
(Check, check, checkin' it out)
Ch-ch-ch-checkin' it out.
(Check, check, checkin' it out)
Ch-ch-ch-checkin' it out.
(Check, check, checkin' it out)
Ch-ch-ch-checkin' it out.

Get it boy, it's a lot from me, and I think I'm gonna get some now.
I've got a little sister and I'm gonna teacher her how.
I know about gettin' it on, and I want a little piece of you.
I'm thinking about taking a bite and I'm gonna right now.

Oh no. Oh no. I don't care what you wanna do.

6. LOOKING FOR BLOOD

I can hear it all over town,
That you've been talking smack.
Send a message to your mommy, baby,
'Cause you ain't coming back.

Don't try to run. Don't you try to hide.
Come to me or I'll come to you.
It just takes two slices of my switchblade, baby.
Gonna make a pretty mess of you.

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm looking for blood.
I've got revenge on my mind.
Yeah, I'm looking for blood.
Alright.

I don't care what you do with the girls,
But don't stop with the boys.
I'm not trying to be a bully, baby,
But you don't give me a choice.

Don't try to run. Don't you try to hide.
Come to me or I'll come to you.
It just takes two slices of my switchblade, baby.
Gonna make a pretty mess of you.

[Chorus]

Don't try to run. Don't you try to hide.
Come to me or I'll come to you.
It just takes two slices of my switchblade, baby.
Gonna make a pretty mess of you.

I don't wanna know your number,
And I don't wanna know your name.
I don't wanna know how good you are,
'Cause to me they're all the same.

And I'm looking for blood.
Want instant satisfaction,
So baby, gimmie leather on leather.

I want leather on leather. (Leather on leather)
I want leather on leather. (Leather on leather)
I want leather on leather. (Leather on leather)

Gotta get out tonight.
Got an itch underneath my pants.

So I think I'll take a chance.

I ain't looking for love.
Just looking for someone easy,
So baby, gimmie leather on leather.

[Chorus x2]

Leather on leather. (Leather on leather)

10. SHAKE IN THE ACTION

I can't wait to lose it.
I'm like a time bomb ready to go.
I'm so tired and it's Saturday night,
I'm looking for an easy show.

[Chorus:]
'Cause there's a shake in the action.
I want some shake for some action, baby.
There's a shake in the action.
There's a shake in the action, baby.

They cut my brain out,
And they took it away from me.
I'm alright and it's Friday night,
And I'm so messed up on weed.

[Chorus]

Shake in the action.
Shake in the action.

(Shake) I can't wait to lose it.
(Shake) I'm like a time bomb ready to go.
(Shake) I'm so tired and it's Saturday night,
(Shake) I'm looking for an easy show.
