And so you want to be a rock 'n' roll star? Oh listen now do what I say And just get an electric guitar Then take some time and learn how to play
And with your hair swung right And your pants get tight, it's gonna be alright
Well then it's time to go down town To the agent man, won't let you down And so you sell 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 paid for your riches and fame Was it all a strange game? You're a little insane The money, they gave and the public acclaim Don't forget what you are, you're a rock 'n' roll star
