So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ 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
