Welcome to the big time.
Youre bound to be a star
And even if you dont go all the way,
I know that youll go far
This race is for rats, it can turn you upside down
Aint no one you can count on in this sleazy little town, oh no
Lots of promises in the dark
But dont you open your heart
Chorus
Cause it dont mean nothin
The words that they say
Dont mean nothin
These games that people play
No, it dont mean nothin
No victim, no crime
It dont mean nothin
Till you sign it on the dotted line
The director smiles as you walk in the door
He says, I love your work, babe but
Youre just not what were looking for
Its never what but who it is you know
So easy to get stuck in all that california snow
Take a good look around and youll 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
Doesnt matter if its 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 youre trying to make a living,
There aint no such thing as pride, no
Lots of promises in the dark
But dont you open your heart
Chorus
It dont mean nothing at all. . .
