riding down the highway
going to a show
stop in all the byways
playing rock 'n' roll
getting robbed
getting stoned
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 doing one night stands
try playing 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
second hand
that's how it goes
playing in a band
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 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, you should've told me
it's a long way, such a long way
