Hugh Masekela - So You Want to Be a Rock & Roll Star lyrics

[Verse 1] So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star? Then listen now to what I say Just get an electric guitar Then take some time and learn how to play And with your hair swung right And your pants too tight It's gonna be alright [Verse 2] Then it's time to go downtown Where the agent man won't let you down Sell your soul to the company Who are waiting there to sell plasticware And in a week or two If you make the charts The girls'll tear you apart [Verse 3] The price you paid for your riches and fame Was it all a strange game? You're a little insane The money, the game and the public acclaim Don't forget what you are You're a rock 'n' roll star [Outro] La la la la la la La la la la la La la la la la
