The Stivs - It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)

Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll

Gettin' robbed, gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up, broken boned
Gettin' had, gettin' took
I tell ya, folks, it's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If ya think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock 'n' roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Hotel, motel
Make ya wanna cry
Ladies do the hard sell
Know the reason why

Gettin' old, gettin' gray
Gettin' ripped off, underpaid
Gettin' sold second hand
That's how it goes playin' in a band

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
You wanna be a star of stage and screen?
Look out, it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
