[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Some things never change
They stay the way they are
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
[Chorus]
You were born to rock
You'll never be an opera star
You were born to rock
You'll never be an opera star
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
[Verse 2]
So you stay out all night
Getting 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
And you'll never be an opera star
[Pre-Chorus]
Some things never change
They stay the way they are
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
[Chorus]
I was born to rock
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Some things never change
They stay the way they are
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
[Chorus]
You were born to rock
You'll never be an opera star
You were born to rock
You'll never be an opera star
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (Ho ho ho)
