It's A Long Way To The Top (if You Wanna Rock 'n Roll) Lyrics - Dropkick Murphys

Ridin' down the highway 

Goin' to a show 

Stop in all the by-ways 

Playin' rock 'n' roll 

Gettin' robbed 

Gettin' stoned 

Gettin' beat up 

Broken boned 

Gettin' had 

Gettin' took 

I tell you folks 

It's harder than it looks 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

If you think it's easy doin' one night stands 

Try playin' in a rock roll band 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

Hotel, motel 

Make you wanna cry 

Lady do the hard sell 

Know the reason why 

Gettin' old 

Gettin' grey 

Gettin' ripped off 

Under-paid 

Gettin' sold 

Second hand 

That's how it goes 

Playin' in a band 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

If you wanna be a star of stage and screen 

Look out it's rough and mean 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll
