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
