Lyrics
I'm wondering what you're going to do
But it's not really up to you
Do whatever it will take
To finally get your break
You'll get lost and erased
You have what it takes to make a name in Hollywood
But you don't really care
Never thought twice
And never had a doubt
You don't understand how to play the game in Hollywood
And you don't really care
When your fifteen minutes will run out
Quickly waste your only shot
And now you're just an afterthought
Late night punchline gets a laugh
And no one wants your autograph
You'll get lost and erased
You have what it takes to make a name in Hollywood
But you don't really care
Never though twice
And never had a doubt
You don't understand how to play the game in Hollywood
And you don't really care
When your fifteen minutes will run out
They'll build you up and tear you down
They'll steal your songs and steal your sound
Forget your name like they never knew
Don't call me I'm going to call you
