So your girlfriend slammed the door shut In your face tonight but that’s all right Then she took off to the opera With some highbrow from the city light Well you grew up on a corner You never miss a moonlit night Some things never change They stay the way they are You were born to rock You’ll never be an opera star You were born to rock You’ll never be an opera star So you stay out all night Getting fucked up in that rock ’n’ roll bar And you never get tired ’Cause your drugs are in a little jar You were born to rock And you’ll never be an opera star Some things never change They stay the way they are I was born to rock Well your girlfriend slammed the door shut In your face tonight but that’s all right Then she took off to the opera With some highbrow from the city light Well you grew up on a corner You never missed a moonlit night Some things never change They stay the way they are You were born to rock You’ll never be an opera star You were born to rock You’ll never be an opera star
