So you want to be a rock and 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 all right

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 plastic ware
And in a week or two
If you make the charts
The girls 'll tear you apart

Was it 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 and roll star

La, La, La, La, La
