My daddy was a-working nine-to-five
         D           E      B
When my momma was a-havin' me
B
By the time I was half-alive
       D          E            B
They knew what I was going to be
    B
But I left school and grew my hair
D            E      B
 They didn't understand
      B
They wanted me to be respected as
   E                  B
A doctor or a lawyer man
E
 (But I had other plans)

I got to be on top someday

 I wanna be a star
B
I can see my name in lights
    D      E        B
And I can see the queue

I've got the devil in my blood
 E                  B
Telling me what to do
E
 (And I'm all ears)

 Well you can stick your nine-to-five livin'
And your collar and your tie

And you can stick your silly rules
And all the other shit

That you teach to kids in school
E
 'Cause I ain't no fool
