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 hairs combed right

And your pants are tight

Its gonna be all right



With time you go downtown

To the agent man he wont let you down

Sell your soul to the company

Theyre 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 its all a vicious game

Youre a little insane

What you get is the public acclaim

Dont forget who you are

Youre 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.

Thats because of the sound [ ]

[ ]

What you pay for all these riches and fame

Well its all a vicious game

Youre a little insane.

Well youre a little insane

Oh a little insane

cause the thing that you gain

Is the public acclaim

Dont forget who you are

Dont forget who you are

Dont forget who you are

Youre a rock & roll star
