Welcome to the big time, you're bound to be a star
Even if you don't go all the way
I know that you'll go far
This race is for rats
Who 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
Don't you open your heart
Cause it don't mean nothing
The words that they say
No it don't mean nothing
These games that people play
No it don't mean nothing
No victim, no cry
No it don't mean nothing
Till you sign it on the dotted line
Oh
The director smiles as you walk in the door
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 stuffed in all that California snow
Oh
Take a good look around and you'll find
People trying to mess with your mind
But it don't mean nothing
The words that they say
No it don't mean nothing
These games that people play
No it don't mean nothing
No victim, no cry
No it don't mean nothing
Till you sign it on the dotted line
Hollywood can be so lonely
Make you the winner of a losing fight
The party is never over
The stars are always shining
Doesn't matter if it's day or night
Oh
The producer says
Let me change a line or two
Get a little bit of something
Can look awfully good to you
And you wanna scream
But you gotta keep it all inside
When you're trying to make a living
There ain't no such thing as pride
Oh no
Watch the promises in the dark
Don't you open your heart
Cause it don't mean nothing
The words that they say
No it don't mean nothing
These games that people play
No it don't mean nothing
No victim, no cry
No it don't mean nothing
Till you sign it on the dotted line
Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
