My kinda life's gonna satisfy me Playing all the shows as I go Living it up, knocking 'em out Dying for a rock'n'roll show Guitar sings, shines on the crowd Rockin' all the kids in the rows Couldn't give a damn rocking with the band Playing in a rock'n'roll show It's a hard life Giving it all, giving it all Press looking grand, sizing up the band Trying to say he's in the now Oh I couldn't give a shit No son of a bitch gonna tell me How to rock'n'roll It's a hard life Giving it all, giving it all We're all in the hall, rocking to the ball Telling everybody we're made And the music is high, reaching the sky Devastating all who have paid Music in our bodies, music in our souls Gotta get put on the stage They're paying the price We're doing it right Ripping up a thundering rage It's a hard life Giving it all, giving it all
