about

Maybe it's different when you're famous, but this whole thing about musicians having legions of chicks to choose from after each gig seems to be slightly exaggerated, at least in my experience. (OK, I'm out)

lyrics

Bought myself a guitar, learned all the chords
Watched every video to learn how to strike a pose
Fell prey to the gear acquisition syndrome
Know where my money goes, don’t care where it comes from
But there’s one thing I have to say
Things still don’t come my way
There is something that is not quite right
No matter how hard I try:
I can’t get no sex and the drugs are expensive
All I can get is rock & roll
I can’t afford drugs and sex is elusive
But I find solace in rock & roll

It’s not that I haven’t tried to bring chicks to my house
But they just clap politely, kiss me on the cheek and say “see you around”
They find me sympathetic, yeah, without the sym
But I know one day they’ll treat me like a king
Still there’s something I don’t do right
And I can’t name it for the love of life
When I’ll put my finger on it
I’ll blow your mind, believe it
I can’t get no sex and the drugs are expensive
All I can get is rock & roll
I can’t afford drugs and sex is elusive
But I find solace in rock & roll

One day, when I’ll be rich and famous, they’ll all look up to me
And for all their scorn and indifference, they’ll feel so sorry
I’ll sweep ‘em off their feet take them sky high
My riffs will feel like a whip upon their backs
Until then...
I can’t get no sex and the drugs are expensive
All I can get is rock & roll
I can’t afford drugs and sex is elusive
But I find solace in rock & roll
