[Verse 1]
When I was 9, I saw this awesome documentary
Playing hip clips from the 70s, you know when Ziggy played guitar
It was the hair, the shoes, the glam, the booze
The ensemble and their glistening cues
The drew me in with their doe eyed blues
And I dreamed of being a star

[Chorus]
A rock'n'rock hall of fame
Queen of a rock'n'rock revolution
I'm an icon, baby, an institution
Nothing short of a miracle, inspiration
And I'll carry the torch for this rock'n'rock nation

[Verse 2]
I was the youngest boy of an older crowd
Working twice as hard, saying twice as loud
Never needed any money, I was much too proud
I had to make it on my own
But the road was long and the river wide
It was hard to cross to the other side
So I packed it in, let the passion die
I never felt so alone

[Chorus]
A rock'n'rock hall of fame
Queen of a rock'n'rock revolution
I'm an icon, baby, an institution
Nothing short of a miracle, inspiration
And I'll carry the torch for this rock'n'rock nation

[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah
Always dreamed of getting somewhere
Climb the mountain to the sky
So I paid my dues, man, I never lose
But your dreams won't always lead you
And the crowds don't always lead you
And a broken heart can't feed you
But you can try
Until it's time to say goodbye

[Verse 4]
The day the music left me, silence and confusion
I say the following delusions can lead you pretty far from home
But then you walked in with your cock-eyed grin and you showed me some affection
You gave me a new direction, hell, baby, I found a new home

[Chorus]
A rock'n'rock hall of fame
Queen of a rock'n'rock revolution
I'm an icon, baby, an institution
Nothing short of a miracle, inspiration
I'm gonna carry the torch for this rock'n'rock nation
The queen of a rock'n'rock revolution
I'm an icon, baby, an institution
Nothing short of a miracle, inspiration
And I'm gonna carry the torch for this rock'n'rock nation
Oh, yeah
