so you want to be a rock & roll star
|
well listen now to what I say
|
get yourself an electric guitar
|
and take some time and learn how to play
|
and when hair's combed right
|
and your pants are tight
|
it's gonna be all right
|
|
with time you go downtown
|
to the agent man he won't let you down
|
sell your soul to the company
|
they're all waiting there
|
to sell plastic wares
|
and in a week or two if you make the charts
|
the girls will tear you apart
|
|
what you pay for these riches and fame
|
well it's all a vicious game
|
you're a little insane
|
what you get is the public acclaim
|
don't forget who you are
|
you're a rock & roll star
|
na na na na na . . .
|
|
hey you. come here. get up.
|
ah, this is the era where everybody creates.
|
recognize my face?
|
they call me broken glass.
|
that's because of the sound [ ]
|
[ ]
|
what you pay for all these riches and fame
|
well it's all a vicious game
|
you're a little insane.
|
well you're a little insane
|
oh a little insane
|
'cause the thing that you gain
|
is the public acclaim
|
don't forget who you are
|
don't forget who you are
|
don't forget who you are
|
you're a rock & roll star
