Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly
  How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzi?
  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
  Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of
  And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t-shirt
  That proves you were there, that you heard of them first?
  
  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?
  Oh, tell me.
  
  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
  And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
  As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones
  
  Aging black leather and hospital bills
  Tattoo removal and dozens of pills
  Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments
  But rock on completely with some brand new components.
  
  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?
  
  Excess ain't rebellion
  You're drinking what they're selling
  Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them
  Your chaos won't convert them
  They're so happy to rebuild it
  You'll never really kill it
  Yeah, excess ain't rebellion
  You're drinking what they're selling
  Excess ain't rebellion
  You're drinking
  You're drinking
  You're drinking what they're selling
