My daddy was a-working nine-to-five

When my momma was a-havin' me

By the time I was half-alive

They knew what I was going to 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 got to be on top someday

I wanna be a star

I can see my name in lights

And I can see the queue

I've got the devil in my blood

Telling me what to do

(And I'm all ears)

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

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

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

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!
