So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star
Well, listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time and learn how to play

And when your hair's combed right
And your pants so 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

What you're paying 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
