So you want to be a rock n' roll star? Well, listen now, hear what I say Just get an electric guitar And take some time and learn how to play And when your hair swung right And your pants get tight It's gonna be alright Well, then it's time to go downtown To the agent man, won't let you down To sell your soul to some 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 It's the price you pay 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 what you are, you're a rock n' roll star
