Opera Star

So your girlfriend

slammed the door shut

In your face tonight,

but that's all right

Then she took off

to the opera

With some highbrow

from the city lights

Well, you grew up on a corner

You never missed a moonlit night.



Some things never change,

they stay the way they are.

You were born to rock,

you'll never be an opera star

Some things never change,

they stay the way they are.



So you stay out all night

Gettin' fucked up

in that rock and roll bar

And you never get tired

'Cause your drugs

are in a little jar.



You were born to rock,

you'll never be an opera star.

Some things never change,

they stay the way they are.



I was born to rock!
