Cake - Rock And Roll Lifestyle II

Rock And Roll Lifestyle II

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
is sometimes for music that you havent 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?

CHORUS:
Now how do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle...
Ohhhh tell me..
ah yeah
ahh right
ahh right
ahh yeah
ahh right

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 wi will HE pay for a brand-new guitar,
one which hell ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long wi will the workers keep building himnew ones,
as long as their soda cans are red, white and blue ones?
And how long wi will the workers keep building himnew ones,
as long as their soda cans are red, white and blue ones?
ahh yeah
ahhh yeah
ahh yeah
ahh right
ha ahhhh haaaa haa haa
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 brand new components.
CHORUS
