[Instrumental Intro]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
My daddy was a-workin' nine-to-five
When my momma was a-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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, I worked real hard and bought myself
A rock and roll guitar
I got to be on top someday
I wanna 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
[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
I hear it pays well

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
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
[Outro]
Yes, I are
