Lyrics I Wrote a Book About Rock & Roll - The Mr. T Experience

I Wrote a Book About Rock & Roll

Let me tell you something you don’t seem to understand
I don’t really care about your crappy local band
Don’t you tell me I can’t tell you what to do
I can, on the whole
'cause I work for a magazine
And I wrote a book about rock and roll
I wrote a book about rock and roll
I wrote a book about rock and roll
I think rock and roll is wonderful
And I wrote a book about rock and roll
I know words like «sobriquet,» «malaise» and «plutocrat.»
And I compare the Shaggs to Wittgenstein--
How cool is that?
Oh, you don’t?
I didn’t think you would
Aren’t my references out of control?
Sometimes I even stump myself
But it’s all in my book about rock and roll
I wrote a book about rock and roll
I wrote a book about rock and roll
Rock and roll is in my soul
So I wrote a book about rock and roll
Hey yeah yeah, rock and roll
If you start doubting me
There’s something you should see
Take a look at these
Thousands of CDs
No one has more than me
And I got all of them for free
Hey, thanks for the free CD, I can sell it at the store down the block
And don’t be surprised if I say «kiss my ass»
That’s how rock and rollers talk (like me)
But you better treat me right
'cause I’m mean and powerful
But you’ll never be a reference in
My next book about rock and roll
I wrote a book about rock and roll
I wrote a book about rock and roll
Rock and roll is wonderful
So I wrote a book about rock and roll
