You want to go where the cool kids go You covet that old time rock and roll Make a difference Build a city Run right to the top And get rich-filthy But if you think you represent high society Allow for me to serve you some reality When you think you'll finally have resting time Hang it all, you'll be stuck with five ex-wives
You crave to go where celebrities go Something us poor kids will never know You want to make a difference Change history Something new of yourself A new kid to be But if you think success will raise you up early Life will move right through you, thick as it can be If you think you can make it home on time Find your light And shut it down. You'll be alright
