Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle - Lyrics - Cake

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? Now, how do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle? How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle? How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle? Oh, tell me Aw, yeah, all right All right Oh, yeah, all right, aw 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 Aw, yeah, aw, yeah Aw, yeah, all right, ha Oh-ho-ho-ho 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 some brand-new components Now, how do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle? How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle? How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle? All right, aw, yeah So good, oh, baby Excess ain't rebellion You're drinkin' what they're selling now 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, aw, yeah Excess ain't rebellion You're drinkin' what they're selling, oh Excess ain't rebellion, oh You're drinkin', you're drinkin' Aw, yeah, you're drinkin' what they selling Aw Yeah, all right Aw Yeah All right
