Patti Smith – So You Want To Be lyrics

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 Explain Request ×
