Текст песни So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star (Version 2 Live 1968 KSAN-FM Broadcast Remastered) - The Byrds

So you want to be a rock 'n' 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 game, the public acclaim
Don't forget what you are, you're a rock 'n' roll star
