It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll) Songtext

von Lemmy Kilmister

Drivin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stoppin' on the by-way
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' mauled
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beaten
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you 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 you 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 you wanna cry
Ladies on the hard sell
You know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
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
Listen to me
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out honey, it's rough and it's mean
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
