Joe Purdy - Faketown lyrics

Billy's been driving all night, he's got a dream Wants to live up on the big screen And just like Jimmy Dean, he's got his jacket on And his hair combed just right But there's a hundred just like him and audition night is tonight 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 driving downtown On something that she heard from some talent scout She's been working all day So she'd 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 nowhere, without shaking 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 watch them walk around, like a pack of wolves And they'll tell you, you ain't good enough That it ain't your fault They say it ain't your time But you just weren't cut out, for the big time Now don't you try, to be yourself 'Cause things like that, they never sell I wish the walls would come down I wish the walls would come down I wish the walls would come down And I wish the walls would come down I wish the walls would come down I wish the walls would come down I wish the walls would come down I wish the walls would come down 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, faketown This faketown, this faketown This faketown, this faketown This faketown, this faketown This faketown, this faketown Dreary eyes can read and know in the dark Each street, it's sign says faketown... And if ever his heart understood Next stop Hollywood (???) down by this faketown. He's drivin' his broken wheels, fallin' heels But he kept tellin' me it'll be alright, if she calls
