(Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine)

I remember when my teacher said:

"How you wanna make your life?"

I said: "I can play guitar

And it will be alright listen!"



When I came out of school

They said: "Which way you wanna go?"

But there was no way strong enough

Compared with rock'n roll

To get the same thrill



Anyhow I've found a job

They tried to break me with their rules

But they had no chance at all

'Cause I knew what to do

To get the same thrill like rock'n roll



I had a feeling they couldn't buy

Still got that feeling they still can't buy,

they still can't buy,

they still can't buy



Tell me the alternative

To what I'm doing, but I guess

There's no other way of life

Which is strong like this

To get the same thrill like rock'n roll
