Faketown

Billy’s been drivin’ all night

He’s got a dream

Wants to live up on the big screen

Well just like Jimmy Dean, he’s got his jacket on

And his hair combed just right

But there’s a hundred just like him in audition lines tonight

And I wish the walls would come down

I wish the walls would come down

I wish the walls would come down on what’s left of this faketown

Rosemary’s drivin’ downtown

For something that she heard from some talent scout

And she’s been workin’ all day

So she could pay for those pictures to be done up in the right way

And it was such a shame when he said that she was just another pretty face

He said no one ever gets no where

Without shakin’ it here or there

Honey life ain’t fair

I wish the walls would come down

I wish the walls would come down

I wish the walls would come down on what’s left of this faketown

This faketown

Well you can fix your face

You can fix your hair

You can fix your body with this needle here

And the world can walk around like a pack of wolves

And until you hear you’re good enough

That it ain’t your fault

You say it ain’t your time

You just weren’t cut out for the big time

Why don’t you try to be yourself

Theres things I have there that never sell

And I wish the walls would come down

I wish the walls would come down (x)

I wish the walls would come down

on what’s left of this faketown, faketown, faketown
