Rebel Without A Paunch
So my hair is sorta thinning and a colour's been applied
And, yeah, O.K, about the paunch - I guess I sorta lied
But you won't hear me whining like those fucking teeny stars
When I'm standing at the mirror and I'm playing air guitar
Rock and roll is music for the angry and depraved
So you can't really rock and roll till you're middle aged
Moaning, between head jobs, rock stars say they're so depressed
They should try out a real job and a boss that's not impressed
If it's so fucking hard being young, beautiful and rich
Come on down the office, cockhead, I'd be glad for us to switch:
The Prodigy despise normal men; Keith studded his own tongue
But the pain of that don't compare to actually being one
Ooh, it must be so fucking hard for all the Trainspotting crew
To have to live an alienated life in the proletariat milieu
While all us normal middle class wanker types are trying
Not to have such a great time working 40 years then dying
Every fucking adolescent moans about how they're so deprived
What do you fucking think it's like turning forty five?
"Oh no!" I say to the wife, "another album's due
Another tour of the world - oh, what am I going to do?
Oh, it's such a hassle - the fans just won't leave me alone
Remember those great old days with three kids and a loan?
Can't go to Safeways, got a photo shoot, and I'm stoned
By the way, nearly forgot - Madonna phoned."
Hey, who doesn't wanna rock all day and party every night?
Every adult's a boring turd - that's exactly fucking right
You'll never join the normal world, says your anguished teenage voice:
Well I don't ever remember someone giving me the choice
So you can sing about rebellion and experiment with drug bingeing
But you won't get really angry till your teenage kids start whingeing
And, yeah, O.K, about the paunch - I guess I sorta lied
But you won't hear me whining like those fucking teeny stars
When I'm standing at the mirror and I'm playing air guitar
Rock and roll is music for the angry and depraved
So you can't really rock and roll till you're middle aged
Moaning, between head jobs, rock stars say they're so depressed
They should try out a real job and a boss that's not impressed
If it's so fucking hard being young, beautiful and rich
Come on down the office, cockhead, I'd be glad for us to switch:
