my daddy was workin’ nine to five
when my momma was havin’ me
by the time I was half alive
they 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
gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll singer
gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll star
gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll singer
I’m gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll
a rock ‘n’ roll star
well I worked real hard and bought myself
a rock ‘n’ roll guitar
I gotta be on top some day
I wanna be a star
I can see my name in lights
and I can see the queue
I got the devil in my blood
tellin’ me what to do
and I’m all ears
gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll singer
I’m gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll star
gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll singer
I’m gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll
a rock ‘n’ roll star
I hear it pays well
well you can stick your nine to five livin’
and your collar and your tie
you can stick your 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 you teach to kids in school
’cause I ain’t no fool
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
gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll singer
gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll star
gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll singer
I’m gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll
a rock ‘n’ roll star
yes I are
