Lyrics
IN ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC
Words & Music by
Ted Myers, Joey Alkes & Chris Fradkin
1. You're gonna lose your mind if you try to make a living in rock 'n' roll music
You're gonna lose your dime if you call about the song, they said they just might use it
But you've rolled with the punches, and you've taken the shit
And you promised yourself that you're not gonna quit
'Til they're standin' in line to watch you make your living in rock 'n' roll music, oh yeah
2. It could take a lotta time, it could cost a pretty penny, in rock 'n' roll music
They'll give you lots of free advice, but they'll never give you money, and you sure could use it
But you believe in yourself, and you know you are right
And you've never been one to back down from a fight
So you walk the thin line and try to make your living in rock 'n' roll music, oh yeah
BRIDGE:
And you know that you still got a long way to go
All alone, and you're wonderin' when
The dues will be paid off forever
INSTRUMENTAL
But you believe in yourself, and you know you are right
And you've never been one to back down from a fight
So you walk the thin line and try to make your living in rock 'n' roll music, oh yeah
You're gonna lose your mind if you try to make a living in rock 'n' roll music
VAMP TO FADE
