So You Wanna Be (A Rock `N` Roll Star) — текст песни (Patti Smith)

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
