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 


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


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 its 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
