so you want to be a rock ‘n’ roll star
then listen now to what i say
just get an electric
then take some time and learn how to play
and with your hair swung right
and your pants too tight
it’s gonna be alright
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 plasticware
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 game and the public acclaim
don’t forget what you are
you’re a rock ‘n’ roll star
