My Daddy was workin' nine to five

When my Momma was havin' me

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

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll,

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)

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll,

A rock 'n' roll star

(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 am no fool)

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll

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

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll

A rock 'n' roll star

Yes I are!
