don't - stop - believin'
that you - can't - do nothin'
get yourself second-hand guitar
and set the world on fire
any old axe will do
anything but a squire

rock city news
you gotta pay your dues
at the rock city news
if you want to sing the blues

liv-ing - on a wing - and prayer
out - on the strip - nobody cares
scabbing of the valley chick
sleeping on the practice room the floor
pretty soon the record company will be banging on your door

rock city news
you gotta pay your dues

if you want to sing the blues - dave!

rock city news
you gotta pay your dues
at the rock city news
if you want to pay to lose

like drinkin' booze
you know it ain't no ruse
put on your dancing shoes
and stick an ad in the rock city news
