Lyrics
[]

So you say you wanna be a rockstar?
Well, there's some steps you gotta take

Step one
You gotta know you're a star
When you get up on the stage and you grab your guitar
Step two
Pump your fist in the air
And wait two weeks to wash your hair
Step three
When you're feelin' the bass
Don't be afraid to give the people a face
Step four
Never do what you're told
Because there's no rules in rock 'n' roll, ow

Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll rules
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll rules
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll rules
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Don't forget, never do what you're told
If you don't rock, then you're gonna get rolled

When you
When you kick open the gates
You gotta pay respect to all of the greats
Before
Before you're ready to play
You better, better, better know your history
Punk, new wave, metal, ska
Garage, psych, hardcore, goth and prog
Surf, shoegaze, glam, emo
There's no rules in rock 'n' roll

Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll rules
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll rules
Come on, everybody sing it now
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll rules
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Don't forget, never do what you're told
If you don't rock, then you're gonna get rolled

One last step
Real quick
Don't you forget
A rippin' guitar riff
Let's rock

Let's rock

Sing it with me
Let's rock (rock 'n' roll)
Rock (rock 'n' roll)
Rock (rock 'n' roll)
Let's rock, rules (rock 'n' roll) rules
Rock rules (rock 'n' roll) rules
Rock rules (rock 'n' roll) rules
Let's rock, rules (rock 'n' roll) rules (there's no rules in)
Rock rules (rock 'n' roll) rules (rock and roll)
Rock rules (rock 'n' roll) rules
Let's rock, rules (rock 'n' roll) rules (there's no rules in)
Rock rules (rock 'n' roll) rules (rock and roll)
Rock rules (rock 'n' roll)

And there's nothin', there's nothin', there's nothin' you can do
Rock 'n' roll has taken over you

Trivia
[]

  • The title is a play on words. The first meaning is "these are the rules to rock 'n' roll". The second is literally that "rock 'n' roll" itself "rules".
    • The first chorus contains a deliberate contradiction related to this play on words; the singer tells the listener the first 4 steps to being a Rockstar but on the fourth tells the listener not to do what they are told to do. The first steps are merely to catch the listener out and the fourth is to make sure their actually paying attention. If the listener does the first three and ignores the fourth; they aren't paying attention to what the song actually is singing about.
  • The song lists a number of Rock subgenres, including Rock 'n' Roll itself, which was the precursor to all other Rock subgenres.
    • A note is that Rock 'n' Roll usually is distinct itself from the actual "Rock" music genre with the tempo and style being significantly different. Rock 'n' Roll is usually made with the intention of it being danced to, whereas Rock music in general doesn't necessarily have dancing in mind.
