Verse 21 and I ain’t got a job. I play guitar in a band who plays in the pubs. I don’t like your dream, she’s been known to say. She’s always telling me I will wind up in a bad way. Pre Chorus She was the one who bought me a guitar. I guess she never thought I would take it this far. She yells and screams and tells me every day: Chorus Would you rather be a Joker or a King? Would you rather have nothing or everything? Do you think anyone will pay you to sing? Why don’t you give a nice girl a wedding ring? Verse I don’t want to go to work every day. The idea of that makes my hair turn gray. Being a working stiff puts me in a tiff. Pre Chorus I play for cheap. Sometimes I play for free. It’s all about getting an opportunity. I’m willing to swim upstream to achieve my dream. Chorus Bh Would you rather be a Joker or a King? Would you rather have nothing or everything? Do you think anyone will pay you to sing? Why don’t you give a nice girl a wedding ring? Bridge Playing this guitar is everything to me. I look ahead instead of at ancient history. Rock and roll is the only life I can see. Verse I’m gonna play this guitar until I make it or I’m gonna die trying. When I’m on stage I feel like an eagle flying overhead. Pre Chorus I love where my life has led so far. I don’t care about anything but playing my guitar. And I’m not gonna quit til I’m a rock n roll star. Chorus Would you rather be a Joker or a King? Would you rather have nothing or everything? Do you think anyone will pay you to sing? Why don’t you give a nice girl a wedding ring?
