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 lights
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
Some things never change
They stay the way they are

So you stay out all night
Gettin' ***ked up
In that rock and roll bar
And you never get tired
'Cause your drugs
Are in a little jar

You were born to rock
You'll never be an opera star
Some things never change
They stay the way they are

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 lights
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
Some things never change
They stay the way they are

So you stay out all night
Gettin' ***ked up
In that rock and roll bar
And you never get tired
'Cause your drugs
Are in a little jar

You were born to rock
You'll never be an opera star
Some things never change
They stay the way they are

I was born to rock

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 lights
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
