They say people out in Hollywood
|
Live their life out in black and white
|
They're living out a technicolor dream
|
Next day they're a star overnight
|
|
Not like living in New York
|
Man, it's tougher
|
Not like in London town
|
Boy, you suffer
|
|
Nobody give a break
|
When you're down on your luck
|
Everybody's on the take
|
When you're down on your luck
|
You can't make a mistake
|
When you're down on your luck
|
|
People out in Hollywood
|
They got a lot of class
|
You see the boys strutting down the boulevard
|
Trying to make a pass
|
|
Not like in New York
|
It's high rise, it's concrete and complex
|
Not like in London town
|
It reigns down on its subjects
|
|
Nobody give a damn
|
When you're down on your luck
|
Nobody understands
|
When you're down on your luck
|
Lady Chance, she won't dance
|
When you're down on your luck
|
|
People out in Hollywood
|
They can make it to the stars
|
They can reach the screen
|
Drive around in big expensive convertible cars
|
|
Not like in New York
|
All you've got is Broadway
|
Not like in the west end of London
|
You can't make it no way
|
|
Nobody give a damn
|
When you're down on your luck
|
Nobody understands
|
When you're down on your luck
|
You've got to strut your stuff
|
When you're down on your luck
|
|
You can't take it easy, it ain't good enough
|
When you're down on your luck
|
Everybody's on the make
|
When you're down on your luck
|
Nobody give a fair deal
|
When you're down on your luck
|
|
Nobody understands my Uncle Sam
|
When you're down on your luck
|
I'm ready for the dance
|
When you're down on your luck
|
I gotta make a dollar holler
|
When you're down on your luck
|
