He came in from the midwest and wants to be the best
He's looking for fame and taking no less
Can't get a job, can't catch a break
Just another bum with everything at stake
And he can't go back admitting defeat
Just another washed-up broken deadbeat
Lost in Hollywood, it's no good
Lost in Hollywood
Now his shattered dreams of being everything
Have turned to dust with a quick bitter sting
And he must move on but he cannot stop
From the bottom of the world he'll make it to the top
He's making and faking and learning to dance
He's only got one more change
Lost in Hollywood, it's no good
Lost in Hollywood
