My Daddy was workin' nine to five

While my Momma was havin' me

By the time I was half alive

I 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

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star



Well I worked real hard and got myself

A rock 'n' roll guitar

I'm gonna be on top some day

I'm gonna be a star

I can see my name in lights

And I can see the queue

I've 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

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

(I hear it pays well)



And 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 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

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

Gonna be 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

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Yes I are!
