Amateur (Rock Me Amadeus)

You are listening, gentlemen and ladies
Please, welcome to Rrradio mmm Molotoov

Rock me amateur!

Su-su-superstar!
Su-superstar!

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh Amateur
Rock me amateur!

We live off the applause and also the coins
That we later pick up from the stage floor
We pose for photos and then they call us names
They steal our shirts, we sign them wherever you want
The transportation they sent has 2 flat tires
The power at the venue wasn't grounded
The airline we traveled on belonged to the Armed Forces
And the hotel we stayed at belonged to Carlos Ahumada

More than a thousand gigs, no tire for my rims
A lot of messing around with the same socks
Bullied, deceived, drunk, hungover, and sleepless
About what the press wrote, I don't think we've ever talked

Amateur amateur, amateur, amateur amateur, amateur
Amateur amateur, oh oh oh amateur
Rock me amateur!
Amateur amateur, amateur, amateur amateur, amateur
Amateur amateur, oh oh oh amateur

Now we don't pay the soundtrack distribution for watching tours
We toured in buses with no heat in very low temperatures
We haven't received checks since '98, we took payments
We owe the cheese between our toes
Thanks for the expenditure
Hey, don't play with big kids spandex rock scavengers
Sold my furniture to keep my economic stature
And now convince the chief that we had matured
Guess, it was producing the who's who of all amateurs

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh Amateur
Rock me amateur!
Amateur amateur, amateur, amateur amateur, amateur
Amateur amateur, oh oh oh amateur

They offer us the gig, they take us to the dance
We charge to sweat a bunch of air
They put us on stages painted like resorts
Surrounded by businessmen who keep the change
Here with you, your favorite idiots
Don't send the tickets, we can get there on our own
We love being told how to make our songs
Coming from drunk fans, complaints are accepted

Amateur amateur, amateur, amateur amateur, amateur
Amateur amateur, oh oh oh amateur
Rock me amateur!
Amateur amateur, amateur, amateur amateur, amateur
Amateur amateur, oh oh oh amateur
Rock me amateur!

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh Amateur
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh Amateur
Rock me amateur!
Amateur amateur, amateur, amateur amateur, amateur
Amateur amateur, oh oh oh amateur
Rock me amateur!
Amateur amateur, amateur, amateur amateur, amateur
Amateur amateur, oh oh oh amateur
Rock me amateur!
