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 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

The price you paid for your riches and fame
Was it all a strange game, you're a little insane?
The money, the fame, the public acclaim
Don't forget what you are, you're a rock 'n' roll star!
