Rock Star is about how the record industry works or should I say, use to work.

So You Wanna Be A Rock Star
Drum solo Intro
6 bar Intro
1 Wrote a very touchin' letter
To a major record label
Said son, we're looking for that unique sound
Are you ready willing and able
2 Now that got me thinking man
What could that sound be?
Maybe a sound like Nirvana, Sound Garden,
or Ac-Dc
3 Well they said its gotta have great lyrics
It's gotta have a good hook you see
It's gotta fit into that certain niche man
It's got to be great musically
Chorus
So you wanna be a rock star
Well I'm sure you'll go far
Guitar Interlude 16 bars
4 Now you may all be wonderin'
Just what the hells this all mean
Well if you ain't got that unique sound man
You're ruined musically
5 They say son things are different now
It ain't like it use to be
You gotta pump out them gold platinum records for us man
So we can live the life of ease
Chorus
So you wanna be a Rock Star Huh!
Well I'm sure you'll go far….yeah right!
Break Hey all right, looks like they sent me a rock star manual
Lets see here, it says rule no 1
It says a, in order to be a rock star
You must be able to play you’re Guitar well
Hey! That ain’t no problem man….all right
Rule no 2 here; it says a, in order to be a rock star
You must have balls, hey, that ain’t no problem,
I’ve got 2 of them, lets see rule no 3
In order to be a rock star you must smoke, drink,
Take drugs & have illicit sex, Hmmm
Also, you must be able to solve Einstein’s theory
Of relativity, relativity, oh yeah man
I’ve got plenty of them
Looks like I’m gonna be a rock star, alright
6 So no one has the answer
That defines that unique sound
Just keep writing from your heart man
And your music will be profound
7 So don't let them dictate or dominate
What you should listen to
Just let your ear be the judge man
Unto your own self be true
Chorus
So you wanna be a Rock Star Huh!
Well I'm sure you'll go far, Yeah right!
