This life gets harder day by day
it seems like everyone wants more
I try to compensate in other ways
I try but I just can't take more

But the rent is due
I see tears in her eyes
it's not Hollywood
Just the best we could find

These expectations crypt all nights
it tries to steal my joie de vivre
all this pressure building day and night
sometimes I wish that I could leave

But the rent is due
I see tears in her eyes
It's not Hollywood
Just the best we could find

And there‘s bills to pay
Come on baby don't cry
It's not Hollywood
Just the best we could find

Tell me you understand
tell me we'll be alright
just tell me we've got a plan
it's hard to keep growing old
it's hard to keep being stalled
when this is not the way it's meant to be
this is not where I have hoped to be

On my knees, lord
on my knees
on my knees, life
on my knees

But the rent is due, on my knees, lord
I see tears in her eyes, on my knees
it's not Hollywood, on my knees, life
Just the best we could find, on my knees

NO second day, on my knees, lord
no way to remind, on my knees
it's not Hollywood
just the best we could find

it's not Hollywood
just the best we could find
