Lyrics
Original Source:LyricWiki
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
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
No, it don't mean nothing
No victim, no crime
No, it don't mean nothing
'Till you sign it on the dotted line
Whoa, yeah

The director smiles
As you walk in the door
He 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, oh no

Take a good look around and you'll find
People trying to mess with your mind

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 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
And 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

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 crime
No, it don't mean nothing
'Till you sign it on the dotted line

Don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing at all
