Where the agent man won't let you down
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware

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 that came and the public acclaim
Don't forget what you are, you're a rock and roll star
