Lyrics:

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

Playin' in a band
That's how it goes
Second hand
Gettin' sold
Under-paid
Gettin' ripped off
Gettin' gray
Gettin' old
Know the reason why
Lady do the hard sell
Make you wanna cry
Hotel, motel

If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
Try playin' in a rock roll band
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
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
It's harder than it looks
I tell you folks
Gettin' tush
Gettin' head
Broken boned
Gettin' beat up
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' robbed
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Stop in all the by-ways
Goin' to a show
Ridin' down the highway
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, (they tell me)
It's a long way, such a long way
