So you want to be a rock 'n roll star
Then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
And take some time and learn how to play
And when your hair's combed right
And your pants fit tight
It's gonna be all right
Then it's time to go down town
Where the agent man won't let you down
Sell your soul to the 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
Gotta 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 who you are
You're a rock 'n roll star
Where the agent man won't let you down
Sell your soul to the company who are waiting there
To sell plastic ware and in a week or two
La la la la la la la
