Lyrics:

I'm swappin' first middle eight and chorus,
For paper, pen and thesaurus,
The only thing I'm keeping is the girls on front of stage,
I might be a genius but I still wanna get laid!

Being a rockstar's not good enough for me,
'Cause you know I'm craving respectability,
My career is taking a different course-uh,
I'm gonna follow Chaucer,
I wanna be an author,
Yeah oh yeah oh yeah,
I wanna be an author,
Yeah oh yeah ho!

Dickens!
Tolstoy!

It's about time people began to see,
Not all rockstars are like Ted Mulry,
It's prejudice and my novel will be fighting it,
Just as soon as my roadie has finished writing it,

Being a rockstar's not good enough for me,
I'm cravin' respectability,
My career is taking a different course-uh,
I'm gonna follow Chaucer,
I wanna be an author,
Yeah oh yeah oh yeah,
I wanna be an author,
Yeah oh yeah ho yea,

Chekhov!
Balzac!
That's who I wanna be,
That's who I wanna be,
I wanna be someone French,
I wanna be Flaubert,
No I wanna be Polish,
I wanna be-
I wanna go to England,
Iwanna be, I wanna be Konrad!
