So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star Songtext
von Patti Smith

So, you wanna 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

There is 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

Ohh, have some information for you
I will promise to be true
I′ll be true, true to you, true to you
True to you, true to you, true to you

What's the price that you pay?
For all these riches and fame
Well, it′s all a vicious game
And you're a little insane, you′re a little insane
Oh, promise of the nature swirls around you

What's the price that you pay?
For all these riches and fame
Ahh, little insane
You're a little insane
You′re 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, come on!
