all us rockers keep pushing on
we rise then we fall
no one stays on top forever
what goes up must go down

some folk say it's all in vain
this madness, rock n roll
sometimes i wonder why i'm here
a song only lasts for so long

i don't want to be another statistic in a pile of rock
i just want to be a star, i just want to be on top
there's only one place that i'd rather be
is where there's love, joy, and peace

there's a beat inside our brains, the rhythm is alive
if you're smart and stay insane
you'll stand the test of time
