welcome to the big time
you're bound to be a star
even if you don't go all the way
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
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
yeah yeah no it don't mean nothing
no victim no crime
no it don't mean nothing
till you sign it on the dotted line
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 stuck in all that california snow
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 crime
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
party is never over
the stars are always shining
doesn't matter if it's day or night
the producer says let me change a line or two
put a little bit of something
then they'll all be good to you
and you want to scream
but you've got to keep it all inside
when you try to make a livin'
there ain't no such thing as pride
oh no lots of promises in the dark
but 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 of crime
no it don't mean nothing
till you sign it on the dotted line don't mean
don't mean nothing
don't mean nothing
whoa no it don't mean nothing
mean nothing whoa no it don't mean nothing
don't mean nothing
don't mean nothing at all
don't mean nothing
don't mean nothing
don't mean nothing
don't mean nothing
