“Rock ‘n’ Roll Guy” playfully subverts traditional ideas of masculinity, presenting the often-androgynous aesthetics of rock as the speaker’s idea of a “real” man.
I want a real rock 'n' roll guy
One in a gown slit to his thigh
Liquid eyeliner in his eye
Making him cry, cry, cry
I need a real rock 'n' roll man
Someone with no long-term plan
As worldly-wise as Charlie Chan
Someone who can sleep in a van, man
Give me a real rock 'n' roll star
Someone with blood on his guitar
Someone who dresses like a Tsar
Oh, who doesn't look best from afar?
Find me an old rock 'n' roll soul
Who paints his nails black as coal
Who may go out just for a stroll
And never return
Turn, turn...
