Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle

Lyrics
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 and 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? 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 And tattoo 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? Tell me Excess ain't rebellion You drinkin' what they're sellin' 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 Excess ain't rebellion You drinkin' what they're sellin? Excess ain't rebellion You drinkin', you're drinking what they're... sellin'
