Paroles de Bad Actor

A bad actor's waiting in the wings
He lost his voice once visiting Sing Sing
California dreamin' online
A bad actor tells his girlfriend good lies

To be somebody

Teacher's pet on the college set
Quoting Shakespeare with Chimay beer
When the pearly gates left a nice estate
He drove a 4x4 to the PCH

In a semi-detached house off Melrose
With an agent that tells him to buy new clothes

To be somebody

Auditions come but he's never cast
With some new headshots and a year goes past
He sells the car and he takes the bus
To Musso and Frank's three martini lunch

I need a role
Find me a role

Midnight on Santa Monica Boulevard There's no violins or a place to stay
It's a bad scene on a perfect day
And it's 8 AM, lying on the ground
And they called your name but you still forgot
As they dragged you out of the parking lot

I need a role
Find me a role
