[This track is from the Collected Recordings box set, on the revised version of Hot Dogma. On the original release of Hot Dogma, there were four tracks called Kevin Borich Expressionism Part 1, etc. This track is nothing like any of them.]

I'm swapping verse-middle eight-and chorus
For paper, pen and thesaurus
The only thing I'm keeping is the girls in front of the stage
I might be a genius but I still wanna get laid
Being a rock star's not good enough for me
Cause you know I'm craving respectability
My career is takin' a different course - uh,
I'm gonna follow Chaucer
I wanna be an author, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yay!
Dickens!
Tolstoy!
It's about time people began to see
Not all rock stars 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 rock star's not good enough for me
I'm craving respectability
My career is takin' a different course - uh,
I'm gonna follow Chaucer
I wanna be an author, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yay!
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 think, I wanna go to England, I wanna be, I wanna be� Conrad!
