So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star Songtext

von Tom Petty

So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star?
Then listen now, hear what I say.
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time
And learn how to play.

And with your hair swung right,
And your pants too tight
It's gonna be alright.

Well then it's time to go downtown
Where the agent man won't let you down.
And sell your soul to some company
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware.
And in a week or two if you make the charts
The girl'll tear you apart.

The price you paid for your riches and fame,
Was it all a strange game?
You're a little insane.
The money that came, and the public acclaim,
Don't forget what you are,
You're a rock 'n' roll star.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
