Too close to rock We had you trained to be so classical Yes and you learned to play the guitar at school But now we've caught you, you've been playing the fool We don't think your musical taste is cool [CHORUS:] You were too close to rock and roll I paid for the teacher so I own your soul Move out of the house, you can't use the car You spend your lectures just drinking in the college bar You don't wanna get a job, you won't get far Pretty soon you're gonna come home, gonna need your Ma and Pa ^{REPEAT CHORUS} [SOLO] Too close to rock and roll I paid for the man I own your soul Leading me on you've been a bad bad boy Betcha since you've been a kid, you've been a mama's toy Aaaaaaaaaah!!!! Too close to, too close to, too close to Too close to rock and roll
