who - success story lyrics
friday night, i’m on my way home
they oughta make work a crime
i’m home for the weekend
i’m gonna make the most of my time
there’s a rock and roll singer on the television
giving up his music, gonna take up religion
deserted rock and roll
to try to save his soul
sat-rday night, gotta gig with the band
playing the electric guitar
someday i’m gonna make it
gonna be a super-duper-star
get a flashy car
and a house for my ma
the big break better happen soon
’cause i’m pushing twenty-one
just like cinderella
when she couldn’t go to the ball
a voice said, “i’m your fairy manager
you shall play the carnegie hall”
i gotta give up my day job
to become a heartthrob
i may go far if i smash my guitar
away for the weekend
i’ve gotta play some one-night stands
six for the tax man, and one for the band
back in the studio to make our latest number one
take two-hundred-and-seventy-six
you know, this used to be fun
monday morning, i just got home
six and the birds are singing
i need a drink and my clothes are wet
ooh, and my ears are still ringing
there’s a rock and roll singer boppin’ on the tv
he used to be a preacher, but now he sings in a major key
amended his decision to the new religion
