Cardboard California lyrics

Nothing is real in cardboard California
Just waking up brings you down
One lousy deal is cardboard California
You just can`t survive in a make believe town

Lost in a city of little tin gods
Cold plastic people with phoney facades
How can you win when you look at the odds

You`re running down a one way street
Nobody cares if you survive
Sometimes you beg or you don`t eat
You gotta fight to stay alive
Hey, you`re never gonna get away

Where `s the world you used to know
Where did all the good times go
Look around your hopes and dreams are gone
But like a fool you still keep hanging on

Music

Come and be a movie star
Come and drive a fancy car
Come and see, what you really are

Look in the mirror, mirrors don`t lie
You`re getting older, your time`s past you by
You lost your shot to some younger guy

You`re running down a one way street
Nobody cares if you survive
Sometimes you beg or you don`t eat
You gotta fight to stay alive
Hey, you`re never gonna get away

Nothing is real in cardboard California
Just waking up brings you down
One lousy deal is cardboard California
You just can`t survive in a make believe town
