Glitter, Fame and Gold

I imagine how the gritty cameras roll As they crown you, then you're queen of their big show They praise your voice, the brightest ever heard And they save you with their heavy, shallow words They're just words They promise you glitter, fame and gold Put your life in the hands of rock and roll But don't let them fool you, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh No, don't let them fool you with glitter, fame and gold You believed them when they cheered, "Your future's bright" And you trusted all the papers that you signed I said, "That is what it takes to live your dream" But honey, you are only 17 Only 17 They promise you glitter, fame and gold Put your life in the hands of rock and roll But don't let them fool you, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh No, don't let them fool you Live your life in the fast lane, now That is not all, it seems Everyone knows your name, but somehow No one gives a damn 'bout your dreams They'll promise you glitter, fame and gold Put your life in the hands of rock and roll But don't let them fool you, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh No, don't let them fool you with glitter, fame and gold
