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,
|
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of.
|
And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t-shirt
|
That proves you were there,
|
That you heard of them first?
|
|
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

|
Ah, tell me.
|
|
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.
|
|
Aging black leather and hospital bills,
|
Tattoo removal and dozens of pills.
|
Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments,
|
But rock on completely with some brand new components.

Excess ain't rebellion.
|
You're drinking what they're selling.
|
Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them.
|
Your chaos won't convert them.
|
They're so happy to rebuild it.
|
You'll never really kill it.
|
Yeah, excess ain't rebellion.
|
You're drinking what they're selling.
|
Excess ain't rebellion.
|
You're drinking,
|
You're drinking,
|
You're drinking what they're selling.
