Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My daddy was a-workin' nine-to-five
When my momma was a-havin' me
By the time I was half-alive
I knew what I was gonna be
But I left school and grew my hair
They didn't understand
They wanted me to be respected as a doctor or a lawyer man
But I had other plans
[Verse 2]
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna be a rock and roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll, a rock 'n' roll star
[Verse 3]
Well I worked real hard, and bought myself, a rock 'n' roll guitar
I gotta be on top some day, I want to be a star
I can see my name in the lights, and I can see the queue
I got the devil in my blood, tellin' me what to do
[Verse 4]
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll, a rock 'n' roll star
[Verse 5]
I hear it pays well
[Verse 6]
Well you can stick your nine-to-five livin'
And your collar and your tie
And stick you moral standards
'Cause it's all a dirty lie
You can stick your golden handshake
And you can stick your silly rules
And all the other shit that they teach to kids in school
'Cause I ain't no fool
[Verse 7]
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll, a rock 'n' roll star
[Verse 8]
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll, a rock 'n' roll star
Yes, I are
