it seems you've been living on your own
lonely and free. looking to make yourself known
same as me. well i see you in the public eyes
i see you're looking fine. the boy would be a businessman and he signs the bottom line. singing company man
do what you can with my name. rock and roll man
here i am
i'm staking my claim to fame. he's got the smiling face of a friend
still you're not quite certain you know him. the smile turns into a grin
what do you owe him? you know you owe him. so if there's something you do well
something you're proud of
better to save some for yourself if that's allowed. the crowd will never know you
you'll hardly know yourself
they'll turn you round and blow you up till you think you're someone else. singing company man
do what you can with my name. rock and roll man
here i am
i'm staking my claim to fame. he can turn your time to gold
you better make as much as you can my friend. cause his money will turn you old and they need a young man. the job takes a young man.
