Artist & Repertoire: We Buy And Sell Talent

David Rensin, Music World, January 1973

"So you want to be a rock and roll star

Well listen now to what I say

Just get an electric guitar

Take some time and learn how to play

And when your hair's just right

And your pants are tight

It's gonna be all right

Then it's time to go downtown

To the agent man who won't let you down

Sell your soul to the company

Who is waiting there

To sell plastic ware

And in a week or two

If you make the charts

The girls will tear you apart.
