I’m Not the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll

I get up every night and check my face
And take the turn and watch this space
There's nobody can take my place
In this role I'm not the king of rock n roll

I got no answers I got no real style
White complexion and a stick on smile
I'm angry but I'm not hostile
Tell them all I'm not the king of rock n roll

And they said boy, "well pick your window 'cause you're leaving"
I never did learn, not to make a fuss when you're thieving

I go out walking and the streets just burn
Pretty faces everywhere I turn
A boy like me will never learn
On parole I'm not the king of rock n roll

I can't be sure I know I'm not too bright
Got this feeling that I'm always right
I can't ignore the black and white
Of my soul, I'm not the king of rock n roll

And they said boy "well pay attention or you'll miss it"
If they could explain why I'm wrong you know I won't dismiss it

I get up every night and check my face
And take the turn and watch this space
There's nobody could take my place
In this role I'm not the king of rock n roll

And they said boy "pay attention or you'll miss it!"
If they could explain why I'm so wrong you know I won't dismiss it
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
