| «Listen up, kid» Mama said «I'm gonna make you scream |
| When I take you backstage behind that rock’n’roll dream |
| You think it’s all money, controlled substances |
| P-p-premarital sex and bizarre dances |
| You think it’s all noise, a vast circus of fun |
| Well I wouldn’t say this to just anyone |
| Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
| Like your old no-goodnik dad |
| Kill your soul and kill your wife |
| Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
| And make you sad |
| And I mean sad" |
| You laugh now maybe (ha!) but wait till you hear |
| I’ve got no use for groupies, too shy and too queer |
| The truth about drugs? |
| Well, I can’t afford those |
| Cause a lot of my money flew up the circus' nose |
| And all that noise gave me hyperacusis |
| So turn this record down or it’ll happen to you, sis |
| Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
| Like your old no-goodnik dad |
| Kill your soul and kill your wife |
| Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
| And make you sad |
| And I mean sad |
| Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
| Like your old no-goodnik dad |
| Kill your soul and kill your wife |
| Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
| And make you sad |
