Commercial Success

want to be a commercial success
so I can be just like that rest
I want to be a commercial success
so I can be just like that rest
fame and fortune and a brand new car
I won't be having 'til they call me a star
I'll buy a Lincoln and a New York bar, so there
I want to be in a rock 'n roll band
smokin' dope in the back of a van
I want to be in a rock 'n roll band
smokin' dope in the back of a van
rollin' joints and snortin' cocaine
I'm goin' to Dallas on a big jet plane
I hear 'em screamin' an' shoutin' my name, so there
(ELECTRIC PIANO SOLO)
(SLIDE SOLO)
I want to be an American dream
and make a million while I'm still in my teens
I want to be an American dream
and make a million while I'm still in my teens
I'll comb my hair 'till it's touching my knees
I'll call my banker whenever I please
I'll have a groupie wipe my nose when I sneeze, so there
(sing along fer us)
I want to be a commercial success
so I can be just like that rest
I want to be a commercial success
so I can be just like that rest
fame and fortune and a brand new car
I won't be having 'til they call me a star
I'll buy a Lincoln and a New York bar, so there
