The Lyrics
everybody's a schemer...and everybody's been scarred
you dream of being in movies
your dreams are shattered into shards
you're discarded in this city
you'll end up homeless and on the street
and some who failed in hollywood took it hard
and blew their brains out in defeat
you start out great with gusto
as the cameras and fans bombard
your body's sleek and agile...and you're held in high regard
but they'll spurn you in your fifties
and you'll be tossed right off your throne
you went and took your whack at stardom
but now you spend every night alone
you can see has-been stars
as they sleep on hollywood boulevard
too old to recognize...as someone that you've ever heard of
finding no work...they suffer and end up in pain
few have succeeded and most will have suffered in vain
ruined on cheap vino...they drink in seedy dives
and they mumble their distresses...as they sadly stagger by
black voids, they're in, very morosely
and they just may curl up and die
and their eyes seem to scream "save us "
but still they want to end their lives
you will see them covered with garbage
there's plenty here per square mile
and they act all sick and goony...and you will never see them smile
the one-time star is now a derelict...they've sure got it rough
and they're wondering where to find a meal
perhaps it may just be some dumpster stuff
you can see has-been stars
as they sleep on hollywood boulevard
too old to recognize...as someone that you've ever heard of
finding no work...they suffer and end up in pain
few have succeeded and most will have suffered in vain
everybody's a schemer...and everybody's been scarred
you dream of being in show-biz
your dreams are shattered into shards
there's few who are successful...and held in high regard
but there have been a million failures
cause in hollywood, life is hard
and they wish their lives would have not stopped
hollywood ?...where'd it go ?
a fantasy world where only a few are deemed heroes
but these celluloid zeros always wind up in pain
when celluloid zero's fame has finally died
you can see has-been stars
as they sleep on hollywood boulevard
too old to recognize...as someone that you've ever heard of
finding no work...they suffer and end up in pain
few have succeeded and most will have suffered in vain
but celluloid zeros always wind up in pain
when celluloid zero's fame has finally died
and they wish their lives would have not stopped
hollywood ?...where'd it go ?
a fantasy world where only a few are deemed heroes
but these celluloid zeros always wind up in pain
when celluloid zero's fame has finally died
