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!
