Rock 'n' Roll Singer Songtext
von Mark Kozelek

My daddy worked from nine to five
And mama stayed home with me
And by the time that I was half alive
I knew what I was gonna be

I left school, I grew my hair
They didn′t understand
They wanted me to be respected as
A doctor or a lawyer man


I'm gonna be a rock ′n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock ′n′ roll star
I'm gonna be a rock ′n' roll singer
I′m gonna be a rock 'n′ roll star

As I grew up I worked real hard
So I could buy a guitar
I wanted to be on the top one day
I wanted to be a star

I could see my name in lights
I could can see the queue
I had the devil in my blood
Tellin' me what to do


I'm gonna be a rock ′n′ roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock ′n' roll star
I′m gonna be a rock 'n′ roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n′ roll star
