Oh tell me! Oh yeah, all right many times How much did you pay for the chock of his guitar The one he rooflessly smashed at the end of the show and how much will he pay for a brand new guitar one which he rooflessly smashed at the end of another show And how long will the workers keep building him new one As long as they??????

He is obviously criticizing the people who change their entire lifestyle in order to conform to the image of a "true fan.

The apparent ideal image to achieve is independance "Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket? They think because people turn there heads and give them snotty looks that they are different from those people, and in a very superficial meaningless way they are.

For some reason they do not realize that black sheep are still sheep. The problem with rebelling from the other sheep is that they are not the ones who shape the herd, that is the work of the shepherd and his dogs. In our society the shepherd is commercialism, desire for acquisition, and the American Dream. Big business are the dogs. You are still just another good consumer to them. Huh, oh haw how huh Aging black leather And hospital bills And tattoo removal And dozens of pills Your liver pays dearly now For youthfull magic moments But rock on completely With some brand new components Now, how do you afford you rock 'n' roll lifestyle?

All-right, aw yeah. So good. Oh baby. Excess ain't rebellion How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle? You drinking what they're selling How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?

Your self destruction doesn't hurt them How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle? And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket? Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket? Now, tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs Is sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of And how much did you pay for your rock and roll T-shirt That proves you were there, that you heard of them first?

Now how do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle? How do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle? How do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle, oh tell me Ah yeah, ah right Ah right, ah yeah Ah right, ooh How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show? And how much will he pay for a brand-new guitar One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show? And how long will the workers keep building him new ones As long as their soda cans are red, white and blue ones?

Ah yeah, ah yeah Ah yeah, ah right Ha, ah, ha, ha, ha Oh, no Aging black leather and hospital bills And tattoo removal and dozens of pills Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments But rock on completely with brand new components Now how do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle?

How do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle, oh tell me Ah yeah, ah right Ah right, ah yeah Ah right, ooh So good, ah baby Excess ain't rebellion You're drinking what they're selling Your destruction doesn't hurt them Your chaos won't covert them They're so happy to rebuild it You'll never really kill it off, yeah Excess ain't rebellion You're drinkin' what they're selling Excess ain't rebellion ah You're drinkin', you're drinkin' ah yeah You're drinkin' what they're selling Ah, yeah, ah right Ah yeah Ah right.
