Song lyrics
Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Hotel motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Well it's a long way
It's a long way, you should've told me
It's a long way, such a long way

Dude where the fuck are you coming from?
Long way to the top was one of AC/DC's most popular songs when it was released, the most popular in Australia...school of rock was released in 2003. The only people who would have caught onto this song because of that movie would be the "jump on the bandwagon" AC/DC song liker...just like what happened when "T.N.T." was put on tony hawks pro skater 4. This song was made famous by the ammount of support it had WHEN IT WAS RELEASED on AC/DC's second album "T.N.T.".
It was known as one of the greatest AC/DC songs ever long before school of rock. I'm going to assume you know nothing about AC/DC and you shouldn't say anything about them until you learn enough about their history.

Thank you

Back in Black is heaps better but this song really defined Australian rock and has paved the way for Spiderbait, The Spazzys and pretty much any other band to make it in Australia.

oh my! i can't believe there's people who think school of rock made AC/DC more famous!
jack black REALLY fucked up this song! and the bagpipes are essencial to it!
and AC/DC doesn't even need a movie to be more recognized. it's one of the best bands ever. only people who don't know squat about music would say that.

Seriously, AC/DC didn't get much fame from school of rock. There is a reason it's in the fucking movie, It's becouse it's rock history, It's becouse their famous.

Personaly, that's one of my favorite movies, I love Jack Black, I love all the bands in the movie and I love the kids. The theme song is cool to.

And I personaly don't think i fucked the song up, but you can't beat the original.

But were talkin about fuckin ac/dc here. For those about to rock, schools out for summer, highway to hell, this song, TNT, back in black and the list goes on. These guys are in the hall of fame in rock history. Not many bands have this influence on the rock history.

Among with The doors, Ramones, Sex Pistols, led zeppelin, Dire Straits, Turbonegro these guys are among my all time favorites.

And if School of rock made AC/DC popular again, so what? What's wrong with keeping great music alive?

Fuck Jack Black and fuck School of Rock. I saw a video on YouTube the other day from 2003 with the Foo Fighters playing Back In Black with Jack Black singing. What a fucking horrendous wanker. Bloody hell I hate him! He can't rest at just massacring IALWTTT, but then goes on to massacre BIB. Barstard.

Back on topic... this is SUCH an awesome song! Ride on Bon.
