Let me tell you something you don't seem to understand

I don't really care about your crappy local band.

Don't you tell me I can't tell you what to do

I can, on the whole,

'cause I work for a magazine

and I wrote a book about rock and roll



I wrote a book about rock and roll

I wrote a book about rock and roll

I think rock and roll is wonderful

and I wrote a book about rock and roll



I know words like "sobriquet," "malaise" and "plutocrat."

And I compare the Shaggs to Wittgenstein--

how cool is that?

Oh, you don't? I didn't think you would.

Aren't my references out of control? Sometimes I even stump myself,

but it's all in my book about rock and roll.



I wrote a book about rock and roll

I wrote a book about rock and roll

rock and roll is in my soul

so I wrote a book about rock and roll



hey yeah yeah, rock and roll



if you start doubting me

there's something you should see

take a look at these

thousands of CDs

no one has more than me

and I got all of them for free



Hey, thanks for the free CD, I can sell it at the store down the block

And don't be surprised if I say "kiss my ass"

that's how rock and rollers talk (like me)

but you better treat me right

'cause I'm mean and powerful

but you'll never be a reference in

my next book about rock and roll



I wrote a book about rock and roll

I wrote a book about rock and roll

rock and roll is wonderful

so I wrote a book about rock and roll
