My Daddy was workin' 9 to 5
When my Momma was havin' me
By the time that 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 of a lawyer man

But I had other plans

Gonna be a rock and roll singer
Gonna be a rock and roll star
Gonna be a rock and roll singer
Gonna be a rock and roll...a rock and roll star

Well I worked real hard and got myself
A rock and roll guitar
I'm gonna be on top someday
I'm gonna be a star
I can see my name in lights
I can see the cues
I got the Devil in my blood
Tellin' me what to do

And I'm all ears

Gonna be a rock and roll singer
Gonna be a rock and roll star
Gonna be a rock and roll singer
Gonna be a rock and roll...a rock and roll star

I hear it pays well...

Well you can take your 9 to 5 living
And your collar and your tie
And stick your moral standards
Cause it's all a dirty lie
Well you can stick your golden handshake
And you can stick your silly rules
And all the other shit
That they teach the kids in school

'Cause I ain't no fool

Gonna be a rock and roll singer
Gonna be a rock and roll star
Gonna be a rock and roll singer
Gonna be a rock and roll...a rock and roll star
Gonna be a rock and roll singer
Gonna be a rock and roll star
Gonna be a rock and roll singer
Gonna be a rock and roll...a rock and roll star
