Dear Sir,
I want to be a Rock and Roll preacher,
Crunch the boards,
A regular incendiary teacher,
Tour the world and go to places I can't name,
Taste a little luxury resplendent in my fame,
Got a day job,
Just to make ends meet,
Nighttime,
I Rock and Roll on Desperation Street.
All or nothing!
All or nothing!
If you don't like my tape,
There's an S.A.E.
It's all I could afford,
Cos it's all I wanna be,
It's an uphill struggle,
On mountainous terrain,
Each show a foothold,
Getting closer to my aim,
Got a day job,
Just to make ends meet,
Nighttime,
I Rock and Roll on Desperation Street.
All or nothing!
All or nothing!
Ruthless marauder,
Tears the place apart,
Storm trooper breaks another heart,
People who destroy me,
Can't see what it means,
Searching for a song to ride out my dreams.
All or nothing!
All or nothing
