Lyrics

Well, we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
For a hundred thousand dollars a show
We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we'll never know
Is the thrill that'll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of The Rolling Stone
(Rolling stone) gonna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) I'm gonna buy five copies for my mother
(Stone) I'm gonna see my smilin' face
On the cover of The Rolling Stone
I got a freaky old lady name o' Cocaine Kitty
Who embroiders on my jeans
I got my poor ol' grey-haired daddy
Drivin' my limousine
Well, it's all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won't ever be blown
Like the blow that'll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of The Rolling Stone
(Rolling stone) gonna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) I'm gonna buy five copies for my mother
(Stone) I'm gonna see my smilin' face
On the cover of The Rolling Stone
We got a lot of little 30-something blue-eyed groupies
Who'll do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian guru who's teaching us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy, so we'll never have to be alone
And we keep gettin' richer
But we can't get our picture on the cover of The Rolling Stone
(Rolling stone) gonna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) I'm gonna buy five copies for my mother
(Stone) I'm gonna see my smilin' face
On the cover of The Rolling Stone
The cover of The Rolling Stone
(Rolling stone) gonna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) I'm gonna buy five copies for my brother
(Stone) I'm gonna see my smilin' face
On the cover of The Rolling Stone
