Well your CD collection looks shiny and costly
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzzi?
And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?

Now tickets to concerts
And drinking at clubs
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of
And how much did you pay for your rock 'n' roll t-shirt?
That proves you were there
That you heard of them first?

Now, how do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
Oh tell me...

How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar
The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
And how much will he pay for his brand new guitar
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, alright!
HA!
Ahhhhhh ha ha ha... Oh no!

Aging black leather and hospital bills
And tattoo removal and dozens of pills
Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments
But rock on completely with some brand new components

[chorus]

Excess ain't rebellion
You're drinking what they're selling
Your self destruction doesn't hurt them
Your chaos won't convert them
They're so happy to rebuild it
You never really kill it all
Excess ain't rebellion
You're drinkin' what they're selling...
