| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| Chorus
|
| It don’t mean nothing at all… |
