Tom Petty - So You Want To Be A Rock ‘N' Roll Star lyrics

So you want to be a rock n' roll star?
Well, listen now, hear what I say
Just get an electric guitar
And take some time and learn how to play
And when your hair swung right
And your pants get tight
It's gonna be alright
Well, then it's time to go downtown
To the agent man, won't let you down
To 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 girls will tear you apart
It's the price you pay 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
