Songtext I wrote a book about rock and roll The Mr. T Experience

I wrote a book about rock and roll

Let me tell you something you don't seem to understand
I don't really care about your crappy local band.
Don't you tell me I can't tell you what to do
I can, on the whole,
'cause I work for a magazine
And I wrote a book about rock and roll

I wrote a book about rock and roll
I wrote a book about rock and roll
I think rock and roll is wonderful
And I wrote a book about rock and roll

I know words like "sobriquet," "malaise" and "plutocrat."
And I compare the Shaggs to Wittgenstein--
How cool is that?
Oh, you don't? I didn't think you would.
Aren't my references out of control? Sometimes I even stump myself,
But it's all in my book about rock and roll.

I wrote a book about rock and roll
I wrote a book about rock and roll
Rock and roll is in my soul
So I wrote a book about rock and roll

Hey yeah yeah, rock and roll

If you start doubting me
There's something you should see
Take a look at these
Thousands of CDs
No one has more than me
And I got all of them for free

Hey, thanks for the free CD, I can sell it at the store down the block
And don't be surprised if I say "kiss my ass"
That's how rock and rollers talk (like me)
But you better treat me right
'cause I'm mean and powerful
But you'll never be a reference in
My next book about rock and roll

I wrote a book about rock and roll
I wrote a book about rock and roll
Rock and roll is wonderful
So I wrote a book about rock and roll
