Lyrics

[00:00.52] Don't Mean Nothing
[00:06.22]
[00:20.88] Welcome to the big time. You're bound to be a star
[00:25.45] And even if you don't go all the way, I know that you'll go far
[00:30.54] This race is for rats, It can turn you upside down
[00:35.19] Ain't no one you can count on in this sleazy little town
[00:40.02] Oh, no
[00:42.25] Lots of promises in the dark
[00:46.94] But don't you open your heart
[00:49.42]
[00:49.88] Chorus
[00:50.42] Cause it don't mean nothin'
[00:52.26] The words that they say
[00:55.28] Don't mean nothin'
[00:57.07] These games that people play
[01:00.13] No, it don't mean nothin'
[01:01.89] No victim, no crime
[01:04.89] It don't mean nothin'
[01:06.86] Till you sign it on that dotted line
[01:11.95]
[01:19.76] The director smiles as you walk in the door
[01:24.23] He says, "I love your work, babe"
[01:26.49] But you're just not what we're looking for
[01:29.52] It's never what but who it is you know
[01:33.79] So easy to get stuck in all that California snow
[01:40.73] Take a good look around and you'll find
[01:45.63] People tryin' to mess with your mind
[01:48.74]
[01:49.12] Cause it don't mean nothin'
[01:50.92] The words that they say
[01:54.20] Don't mean nothin'
[01:55.90] These games that people play
[01:59.01] No, it don't mean nothin'
[02:00.75] No victim, no crime
[02:03.85] It don't mean nothin'
[02:05.81] Till you sign it on that dotted line
[02:10.12]
[02:11.06] Hollywood can be so lonely
[02:14.69] Make you the winner of a losing fight
[02:20.78] But the party is never over
[02:25.09] Cause stars are always shining
[02:27.47] Doesn't matter if it's day or night
[02:31.48]
[02:50.26] The producer says, "let me change a line or two"
[02:54.60] And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you
[02:59.94] And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside.
[03:04.34] When you're trying to make a living,
[03:06.32] There ain't no such thing as pride, no
[03:11.24] Lot of promises in the dark
[03:16.12] But don't you open your heart
[03:19.17] Cause it don't mean nothin'
[03:21.09] The words that they say
[03:24.18] Don't mean nothin'
[03:25.98] These games that people play
[03:29.17] No, it don't mean nothin'
[03:31.01] No victim, no crime
[03:33.97] It don't mean nothin'
[03:35.85] Till you sign it on that dotted line
