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
