So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star? Well listen now, hear what I say Just get an electric guitar 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 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
