it's a long way to the top (if you wanna rock 'n' roll)

ridin' down the highway

goin' to a show

stop in all the byways

playin' rock 'n' roll

gettin' robbed

gettin' stoned

gettin' beat up

broken boned

gettin' had

gettin' took

i tell you folks

it's harder than it looks

it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

if you think it's easy doin' one night stands

try playin' in a rock roll band

it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

hotel motel

make you wanna cry

lady do the hard sell

know the reason why

gettin' old

gettin' grey

gettin' ripped off

under-paid

gettin' sold

second hand

that's how it goes

playin' in a band

it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

if you wanna be a star of stage and screen

look out it's rough and mean

it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

well it's a long way

it's a long way

you should've told me

it's a long way

such a long way
