Lyrics
I don't believe it
Da-da-ah-ah, don't touch it
Hey, Ray, hey, Sugar, tell them who we are
Well, we're big rock singers
We got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go (That sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show (Right)
We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the "Rolling Stone"
(Rolling Stone) Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for my mother (Yes)
(Stone) Wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the "Rolling Stone" (That's a very, very good idea)
I got a freaky ole lady name Cocaine Katy
Who embroiders on my jeans
I got my poor ole grey-haired daddy driving my limousine
Now it's all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the "Rolling Stone"
(Rolling Stone) Wanna see our pictures on the cover
(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for our mothers (Yeah)
(Stone) Wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the "Rolling Stone"
Hey, I know how
Rock and roll
Ah, that's beautiful
We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who 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 never have to be alone
And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the "Rolling Stone"
(Rolling Stone) Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for my mother (Wa wa)
(Stone) Wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the "Rolling Stone"
On the cover of the "Rolling Stone"
(Stone) Wanna see my picture on the cover
(I don't know why we ain't on the cover, baby)
(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for my mother
(We're beautiful subjects)
(Stone) Wanna see my smiling face
I ain't kiddin', we would make a beautiful cover
On the cover of the "Rolling Stone"
Fresh shot, right up front, man
I can see it now, we'll be up in the front
Smiling, man
Ah, beautiful
