Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
"So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star"


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
