by the time i was half alive, they knew what i was gonna be
but 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
i hear it pays well
well 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 you teach to kids in school
'cause i ain't no fool
