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
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
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
Gonna be 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
And 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 they 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
