|
Welcome to the big time. You're bound to be a star
|
And even if you don't go all the way, I know that you'll go far
|
This race is for rats, It can turn you upside down
|
Ain't no one you can count on in this sleazy little town
|
Oh, no
|
Lots of promises in the dark
|
But don't you open your heart
|
|
Chorus
|
Cause it don't mean nothin'
|
The words that they say
|
Don't mean nothin'
|
These games that people play
|
No, it don't mean nothin'
|
No victim, no crime
|
It don't mean nothin'
|
Till you sign it on that dotted line
|
|
The director smiles as you walk in the door
|
He says, "I love your work, babe"
|
But you're just not what we're looking for
|
It's never what but who it is you know
|
So easy to get stuck in all that California snow
|
Take a good look around and you'll find
|
People tryin' to mess with your mind
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
Hollywood can be so lonely
|
Make you the winner of a losing fight
|
But the party is never over
|
Cause stars are always shining
|
Doesn't matter if it's day or night
|
|
The producer says, "let me change a line or two"
|
And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside. When you're trying to make a living,
|
There ain't no such thing as pride, no
|
Lot of promises in the dark
|
But don't you open your heart
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
It don't mean nothing at all..
|
