- Play Guitar Lyrics / with translationsYou may drive around your town
in a brand new shiny car
Your face in the wind and
your haircut's in and
your friends think your bizzare
You may find a cushy job
and I hope that you go far
But if you really want to
taste some cool success
Better learn to play guitar
(chorus)
Play guitar (play guitar)
Play guitar, oh yeah
Play guitar (play guitar)
Play guitar, oh yeah
Well you got your eyes
on a cheerleader queen
And your walking her
home from school
You know that she's only seventeen
but she knows that
she can cheat a fool
You know you can't touch that stuff
without money or a brand new car
Let me give you some
good advice young man
You better learn to play guitar
(chorus)
All women around the world
want a phony rock star
who plays guitar
(instrumental)
Well you pump your iron
and shine your shoes
and wear your hair just right
You go down on a cruisin' strip
cause you wanna score tonight
You's gotta really ripped physique
and you really wanna show your scars
Forget all about that macho shit
and learn how to play guitar
(chorus)
in a brand new shiny car
Your face in the wind and
your haircut's in and
your friends think your bizzare
You may find a cushy job
and I hope that you go far
But if you really want to
taste some cool success
Better learn to play guitar
(chorus)
Play guitar (play guitar)
Play guitar, oh yeah
Play guitar (play guitar)
Play guitar, oh yeah
Well you got your eyes
on a cheerleader queen
And your walking her
home from school
You know that she's only seventeen
but she knows that
she can cheat a fool
without money or a brand new car
Let me give you some
good advice young man
You better learn to play guitar
(chorus)
All women around the world
want a phony rock star
who plays guitar
(instrumental)
Well you pump your iron
and shine your shoes
and wear your hair just right
You go down on a cruisin' strip
cause you wanna score tonight
You's gotta really ripped physique
and you really wanna show your scars
Forget all about that macho shit
and learn how to play guitar

The song actually deals with the subject of being an artist and through the metaphor of playing the guitar; it comes to the conclusion that true success and respect are only obtained through the mastery of a skill or talent. The lyrics spoken in a very sour tone while being quiet, not in front of anyone, declares that money, and other material possessions and looking good are, for sure, ways to attract people and gain attention but when it comes to real respect and contentment, these come only from giving the best of one's self, being authentic and keeping one's craft up to a certain level.

In the same breath… Young people's aspirations and dreams are also among the topics covered in the lyrics but they are not intended for younger children as they represent a certain level of maturity.
