Patti Smith Group Follow

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 you hair's combed right
And your pants are tight
It's gonna be all right

With this time that 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 break the charts
The girls will tear you apart

What you pay for all 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

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 his sound that I got [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
