As long
Your self destruction doesn't hurt them
Oh tell me
As long as their soda cans are red, white and blue ones
Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
You'll never really kill it
(How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?)
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
Oh no aging black leather and hospital bills
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
Excess ain't rebellion
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
Now how do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
Now how do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar
(How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?)
(How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?)
(How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?)
(As their soda cans are red, white and blue ones)
Yeah, excess ain't rebellion
You're drinking what they're selling
(How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?)
(How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?)
You're drinking, you're oh yeah drinking what they're selling
(How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar
You're drinking what they're selling
Excess ain't rebellion, you're drinking
Oh yeah alright, alright, oh yeah, alright, oh
Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
(How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?)
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?
And how much did you pay for your rock 'n' roll T-shirt
(How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?)
(How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?)
But rock on completely with some brand new components
Alright, oh yeah, so good alright
Oh yeah, oh
That proves you were there, that you heard of them first?
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of
Tattoo removal and dozens of pills
And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
They're so happy to rebuild it
Your chaos won't convert them
