Lyrics
0:06Don't Mean Nothing
0:21Welcome to the big time You're bound to be a star
0:26And even if you don't go all the way I know that you'll go far
0:30This race is for rats It can turn you upside down
0:35Ain't no one you can count on in this sleazy little town
0:40Oh no
0:42Lots of promises in the dark
0:47But don't you open your heart
0:51Cause it don't mean nothin'
0:53The words that they say
0:56Don't mean nothin'
0:57These games that people play
1:01No it don't mean nothin'
1:02No victim no crime
1:05It don't mean nothin'
1:07Till you sign it on that dotted line
1:20The director smiles as you walk in the door
1:25He says "I love your work babe"
1:27But you're just not what we're looking for
1:30It's never what but who it is you know
1:34So easy to get stuck in all that California snow
1:41Take a good look around and you'll find
1:46People tryin' to mess with your mind
1:49Cause it don't mean nothin'
1:51The words that they say
1:55Don't mean nothin'
1:56These games that people play
2:00No it don't mean nothin'
2:01No victim no crime
2:04It don't mean nothin'
2:06Till you sign it on that dotted line
2:11Hollywood can be so lonely
2:15Make you the winner of a losing fight
2:21But the party is never over
2:26Cause stars are always shining
2:28Doesn't matter if it's day or night
2:51The producer says "let me change a line or two"
2:55And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you
3:01And you want to scream but you gotta keep it all inside
3:05When you're trying to make a living
3:07There ain't no such thing as pride no
3:12Lot of promises in the dark
3:17But don't you open your heart
3:20Cause it don't mean nothin'
3:22The words that they say
3:25Don't mean nothin'
3:27These games that people play
3:30No it don't mean nothin'
3:32No victim no crime
3:35It don't mean nothin'
3:37Till you sign it on that dotted line
Don't Mean Nothing Welcome to the big time You're bound to be a star And 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 But don't you open your heart Cause it don't mean nothin' The words that they say Don't mean nothin' These games that people play No it don't mean nothin' No victim no crime It don't mean nothin' Till you sign it on that dotted line 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 Take a good look around and you'll find People tryin' to mess with your mind Cause it don't mean nothin' The words that they say Don't mean nothin' These games that people play No it don't mean nothin' No victim no crime It don't mean nothin' Till you sign it on that dotted line Hollywood can be so lonely Make you the winner of a losing fight But the party is never over Cause 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 want to scream but you gotta keep it all inside When you're trying to make a living There ain't no such thing as pride no Lot of promises in the dark But don't you open your heart Cause it don't mean nothin' The words that they say Don't mean nothin' These games that people play No it don't mean nothin' No victim no crime It don't mean nothin' Till you sign it on that dotted line
