  • I'm just another back street kid
    Rock 'n Roll music is the only thing I really dig
    Can't stop the music going round inside my head
    I'm a rock 'n roll soldier, gonna play it until I'm dead
    Nobody I know is gonna take my rock 'n roll away from me

    Sitting in the back seat of a shiny limousine
    Living in a taxi can't remember where I've been
    Playing my music, sitting in my hotel room
    Writing about the stars and thinking about the hand of doom
    Nobody I know is gonna take my rock 'n roll away from me

    Living life comes easy if you know which way you're going
    Got to see yourself in other's eye's, surprised?
    Living like I want to don't come easy, but I'm trying
    Sorting out what's true and what are lies, it's wise

    Brought up in a back street living with the salt of the land
    Seems that now my music's paying off my tax demands
    So listen to the music, want to see you get so high
    'Cause I'm a back street rocker and I will be till the day I die
    Nobody I know is gonna take my rock 'n roll away from me Writer/s: MICHAEL BUTLER, OZZY OSBOURNE, TONY IOMMI, WILLIAM T. WARD
