[Intro]
Some things never change
They stay the way they are

[Verse 1]
So your girlfriend slammed the door shut
In your face tonight, but that's alright
Then she took off to the opera
With some highbrow from the city lights
Well, you grew up on a corner
You never missed a moonlit night

[Chorus]
Some things never change
They stay the way they are
You were born to rock
You will never be an opera star
You were born to rock
You will never be an opera star

[Bridge]
So you stay out all night
Getting fucked up in the rock 'n' roll bar
And you never get tired
'Cause your drugs are in a little jar
You were born to rock
You will never be an opera star
[Refrain]
Some things never change
They stay the way they are

[Post-Refrain]
I was born to rock

[Verse 2]
So your girlfriend slammed the door shut
In your face tonight, but that's alright
Then she took off to the opera
With some highbrow from the city lights
Well, you grew up on a corner
You never missed a moonlit night

[Refrain]
Some things never change
They stay the way they are

[Chorus]
You were born to rock
You will never be an opera star
You were born to rock
You will never be an opera star
