Rock-N-Roll Is A Vicious Game Ray Wylie Hubbard

[Verse 1]
When a boy picks up a guitar, he learns the girls come 'round
And he sees things heat up when he gets his licks down
So now he believes in these mythological gods, lightnin', and money
And then he starts up a band and things begin to get bloody

[Chorus]
Rock-N-Roll is a vicious game
Rock-N-Roll is a vicious game

[Verse 2]
And now the bands starts giggin' at these nightclubs where there's always a sinister element
And they seem to have forgotten all about God and the words of the new testament
And all the kids say, "These guys are heavier than Nine Inch Nails"
And a major record deal has now become the holy grail

[Chorus]
Rock-N-Roll is a vicious game
Rock-N-Roll is a vicious game

[Verse 3]
Now a hot-shot producer comes along and they all sign on the dotted line
And they go in the studio and now it's just a matter of time
And they tour Europe and they get drunk on stage, but in England they think that's cool
And back in the States, the critics set up and start to drool
