So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star Lyrics - Golden Earring

From the Single: 

* This wheel's on fire 

So you want to be a rock and roll star? 

Then listen now to 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 all right. 

Then it's time to go downtown 

Where the agent man won't let you down. 

Sell your soul to the company 

Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware. 

And in a week or two 

If you make the charts 

The girls'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, the fame, and the public acclaim, 

Don't forget who you are, 

You're a rock and roll star. 

La la la.... 

I See your hair is burning 

Hills are filled with fire. 

If they say I never loved you 

You know they are a liar. 

Drivin down your freeway 

Midnight alleys roam. 

Cops in cars the topless bars, never saw a woman 

So alone, so alone (3x) 

The price you paid for your riches and fame, 

Was it all a strange game? 

You're a little insane. 

The money, the fame, and the public acclaim, 

Don't forget who you are, 

You're a rock and roll star. 

La la la....
