Nothing is real in cardboard California |
|
Just waking up brings you down |
|
One lousy deal is cardboard California |
|
You just can't survive in a make believe town |
|
Lost in a city of little tin Gods |
|
Cold plastic people with phoney facades |
|
How can you win when you look at the odds? |
|
You're running down a one way street |
|
Nobody cares if you survive |
|
Sometimes you beg or you don't eat |
|
You gotta fight to stay alive |
|
Hey, you're never gonna get away |
|
Where 's the world you used to know? |
|
Where did all the good times go? |
|
Look around, your hopes and dreams are gone |
|
But like a fool you still keep hanging on music |
|
Come and be a movie star |
|
Come and drive a fancy car |
|
Come and see what you really are |
|
Look in the mirror, mirrors don't lie |
|
You're getting older, your time's past you by |
|
You lost your shot to some younger guy |
|
You're running down a one way street |
|
Nobody cares if you survive |
|
Sometimes you beg or you don't eat |
|
You gotta fight to stay alive |
|
Hey, you're never gonna get away |
|
Nothing is real in cardboard California |
|
Just waking up brings you down |
|
One lousy deal is cardboard California |
|
You just can't survive in a make believe town |
