Live their life out in black and white
They're living out a technicolor dream
Next day they're a star overnight
Not like living in New York
Man, it's tougher
Not like in London town
Boy, you suffer
Nobody give a break
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the take
When you're down on your luck
You can't make a mistake
When you're down on your luck
People out in Hollywood
They got a lot of class
You see the boys strutting down the boulevard
Trying to make a pass
Not like in New York
It's high rise, it's concrete and complex
Not like in London town
It reigns down on it's subjects
Nobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
Lady Chance, she won't dance
When you're down on your luck
People out in Hollywood
They can make it to the stars
They can reach the screen
Drive around in big expensive convertible cars
Not like in New York
All you've got is Broadway
Not like in the west end of London
You can't make it no way
Nobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
You've got to strut your stuff
When you're down on your luck
You can't take it easy, it ain't good enough
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the make
When you're down on your luck
Nobody give a fair deal
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands my Uncle Sam
When you're down on your luck
I'm ready for the dance
When you're down on your luck
I gotta make a dollar holler
When you're down on your luck
They say people out in Hollywood Live their life out in black and white They're living out a technicolor dream Next day they're a star overnight Not like living in New York Man, it's tougher Not like in London town Boy, you suffer Nobody give a break When you're down on your luck Everybody's on the take When you're down on your luck You can't make a mistake When you're down on your luck People out in Hollywood They got a lot of class You see the boys strutting down the boulevard Trying to make a pass Not like in New York It's high rise, it's concrete and complex Not like in London town It reigns down on it's subjects Nobody give a damn When you're down on your luck Nobody understands When you're down on your luck Lady Chance, she won't dance When you're down on your luck People out in Hollywood They can make it to the stars They can reach the screen Drive around in big expensive convertible cars Not like in New York All you've got is Broadway Not like in the west end of London You can't make it no way Nobody give a damn When you're down on your luck Nobody understands When you're down on your luck You've got to strut your stuff When you're down on your luck You can't take it easy, it ain't good enough When you're down on your luck Everybody's on the make When you're down on your luck Nobody give a fair deal When you're down on your luck Nobody understands my Uncle Sam When you're down on your luck I'm ready for the dance When you're down on your luck I gotta make a dollar holler When you're down on your luck Explain Request ×
