So You Want to Be

So, you want to be a rock 'n 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 your 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 'n roll star Na, na na, na na na, na na Na na, 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 sounds [Incomprehensible] 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 'n roll star --- So You Want to Be - Patti Smith
