Testo So You Want To Be 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 hairâs combed right
And your pants are tight
Itâs gonna be all right
With time you go downtown
To the agent man he wonât let you down
Sell your soul to the company
Theyâre 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 itâs all a vicious game
Youâre a little insane
What you get is the public acclaim
Donât forget who you are
Youâre 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.
Thatâs because of the sound [ ]

What you pay for all these riches and fame
Well itâs all a vicious game
Youâre a little insane.
Well youâre a little insane
Oh a little insane
âcause the thing that you gain
Is the public acclaim
Donât forget who you are
Donât forget who you are
Donât forget who you are
Youâre a rock & roll star
