Joe Purdy - Faketown Lyrics
Billy’s been drivin’ all nightHe’s got a dreamWants to live up on the big screenWell just like Jimmy Dean, he’s got his jacket onAnd his hair combed just rightBut there’s a hundred just like him in audition lines tonightAnd I wish the walls would come downI wish the walls would come downI wish the walls would come down on what’s left of this faketownRosemary’s drivin’ downtownFor something that she heard from some talent scoutAnd she’s been workin’ all daySo she could pay for those pictures to be done up in the right wayAnd it was such a shame when he said that she was just another pretty faceHe said no one ever gets no whereWithout shakin’ it here or thereHoney life ain’t fairI wish the walls would come downI wish the walls would come downI wish the walls would come down on what’s left of this faketownThis faketownWell you can fix your faceYou can fix your hairYou can fix your body with this needle hereAnd the world can walk around like a pack of wolvesAnd until you hear you’re good enoughThat it ain’t your faultYou say it ain’t your timeYou just weren’t cut out for the big timeWhy don’t you try to be yourselfTheres things I have there that never sellAnd I wish the walls would come downI wish the walls would come down (x)I wish the walls would come down on what’s left of this faketown, faketown, faketown
