Still Like Rock

True, I was born
with acid attitude,
my daddy and my teachers gave me hell at school.
The place was white and orange like my Casio,
I learned my G A B the rest I just don't know.

I don't have a bike
and I watch T.V.
I don't have a beard
because my boss won't let me
I don't have a tattoo
or a mental block
I can't play the guitar
but I still like rock.

Well I was smart,
not like my wire haired chums.
While they were into techno crap I practised drums.
I bashed around for ever but I soon could tell
that any band with me in it would sound like hell.

(bad solo)

I don't have a bike
and I watch T.V.
I don't have a beard
because my boss won't let me
I don't have a tattoo
or a mental block
I can't play the guitar
but I still like rock.

What do I know?
I got my law degree...
and everything my mothers mother said to me.
My granny was a rebel back in thirty two
by rocking with her cello at the boarding school.

I don't have a bike
and I watch T.V.
I don't have a beard
because my boss won't let me
I don't have a tattoo
or a mental block
I can't play the guitar
but I still like rock.
