Riding down the highway
Going to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Getting robbed
Getting stole
Getting beat up
Broken boned
Getting had
Getting took
I tell you people
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
Getting old
Getting grey
Getting ripped off
Under-paid
Getting sold
Getting judge
I tell you people
It's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
Alright, let's be quiet
The next thing I want here is a face melting solo by Zach Mulligan! Here we go!
Whoo!
Alright, the next thing I want here... I want a drum solo by Fred!
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
Lawrence at leads solo!!
Whoo!
This what I need: I need you girls, to repeat after me...
Alright... now the first test is over. I need, Alicia... give me a 2 seconds backing vocals solo.
Now is time
Come on, Tomika, now...
- The movie is over!
- Movie is really over!
- But we still on screen!
- But we still on screen...
- Everybody rockin'!
- Everybody rockin'!
- And we came for Horace Green?!
- We came for Horace Green!!!
Ohhh yeeaaahh!
It's time for my solooo!
Movie is almost over!
Take out!
Take out now!
Ohhh!!
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.
