Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tony went to fight in Belfast
Rudi stayed at home to starve
I could make it all worthwhile as a rock and roll star
[Verse 2]
Bevan tried to change the nation
Sonny wants to turn the world
Well, he can tell you that he tried
I could make a transformation as a rock and roll star
[Chorus]
So inviting
So enticing to play the part
I could play the wild mutation as a rock and roll star
[Bridge]
I could do with the money (You know that I)
I'm so wiped out with things as they are (You know that I)
I'd send my photograph to my honey
And I'd c'mon like a regular superstar
I could make a transformation as a rock and roll star
[Chorus]
So inviting
So enticing to play the part
I could play the wild mutation as a rock and roll star
[Chorus]
Get it on, yeah
[Bridge]
I could do with the money (You know that I)
I'm so wiped out with things as they are (You know that I)
I'd send my photograph to my honey
And I'd c'mon like a regular superstar
[Verse 3]
I could fall asleep at night
As a rock and roll star
I could fall in love all right
As a rock and roll star
[Outro]
Rock and roll star
Rock and roll star (Just watch me now)
