It's a long way to the tap..

Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin' rock 'n' roll

Gettin' robbed                                                    

Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
Gettin' Broken boned                                                  

Hotel, motel 

Make you wanna cry 

Lady do the hard sell 

Know the reason why 

Gettin' old 

Gettin' grey 

Gettin' ripped off 

Under-paid 

Gettin' sold 

Second hand 

That's how it goes 

Playin' in a band 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

If you wanna be a star of stage and screen 

Look out it's rough and mean 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

It's a long way to the top 

If you wanna rock 'n' roll 

Well, it's a long way 

It's a long way, (they tell me) 

It's a long way, such a long way.
