Rock And Roll Lifestyle Lyrics

Rock And Roll Lifestyle

Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly,
how much did you pay for
your bad Moto Guzzi?
And how much did you spend on your black leather
jacket?
Is it you, or your parents, in this income tax bracket?

Now,
tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs
is sometimes for music that you
haven't even heard of.
And how much did you pay for your rock and roll
t-shirt
that proves you were there, that you heard of them
first?

----
CHORUS:

Now how do you afford your rock and roll
lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle?
How do you
afford your rock and roll lifestyle...
Ohhhh tell me..

ah yeah
ahh
right
ahh right
ahh yeah
ahh right
ohh
----

How much did
you pay for the chunk of his guitar,
the one he ruthlessly smashed at the
end of the show?
And how much will HE pay for a brand-new guitar,
one
which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long will
the workers keep building him new ones,
as long as their soda cans are red,
white and blue ones?
And how long will the workers keep building him new
ones,
as long as their soda cans are red, white and blue ones?

ahh
yeah
ahhh yeah
ahh yeah
ahh right
ha! ahhhh haaaa haa haa
oh
no..

Aging black leather and hospital bills..
And tatoo removal and
dozens of pills.
Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic
moments,
but rock on completely with brand new
components.

CHORUS

So good, ahh baby...

Excess ain't
rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Your destruction doesnt
hurt them,
your chaos won't covert them.
They're so happy to rebuild
it.
You'll never really kill it off.
Yeah,
Excess ain't
rebellion.
You're drinkin' what they're selling.
Excess ain't rebellion
ahhhh.
You're drinkin', you're drinkin' ahh yeah
you're drinkin' what
they're selling..

ahhh
yeah
ahhh
right
ahhh
yeah!
ahhhhhhhh right
