[verse 1]
i joined the karate team for protection
i joined masters and johnson for erection
every day i go to work
i have my doctorate degree, but they treat me like a jerk
i try, but i ain’t got none yet
you know i want respect
[pre-chorus]
you know i can’t go on living like this
every day i am subjected to so much of it

if you don’t like rock ‘n’ roll music
you can kiss my -ss
