So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star Well, listen now to what I say Just get an electric guitar Then take some time and learn how to play And when your hair's combed right And your pants so tight It's gonna be all right Then it's time to go down town Where the agent man won't let you down Sell your soul to the company who are waiting there To sell plastic ware And in a week or two If you make the charts The girls will tear you apart What you're paying for your riches and fame Was it all a strange game, you're a little insane The money that came and the public acclaim Don't forget who you are, you're a rock 'n' roll star
