Rock Child

I'm gonna jump back

You better hold on

I've been working since the livin' dawn

I ain't your baby in this babylon

I ain't no sycophant with a black heart

Or a silver spoon with a head start

But I need a spotlight

Before I fall apart



Baby I'm righteous

Baby I'm fierce

So maybe my music's splitting my ears

I tell you I'm not the one to fall into your noose

Cut me loose

I'm gonna give you love and show you how to really put it to use



'Cuz I'm a rock child

You gotta let me roll

Baby I'm a rock child

I'll leave you fully blown

Yeah, I'm a rock child

So whatcha gonna do?



I've been a little girl

Livin' center stage

I've been sleeping in a guitar case

I'm gonna pull you in and push it in your face

I ain't no sycophant with a black heart

Or a silver spoon with a head start

But I need a spotlight before I fall apart



Oh baby I'm righteous

Baby I'm fierce

So, maybe my music's splitting my ears

I tell you I'm not the one to fall into your noose

Cut me loose

I'm gonna give you love and show you how to really put it to use

'Cuz I'm a rock child

You gotta let me roll

Baby I'm a rock child

I'll leave you fully blown

Baby, I'm a rock child

So whatcha gonna do?
