So You Want To Be

Patti Smith
Album : Outside Society
so you want to be a
rock and 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 and 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 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 and roll star
