Hollywood (Down on Your Luck)

[Verse 1]

They say people out in Hollywood

Live their life out in black and white

They're livin' out a technicolor dream

Next day, they're a star overnight

Not like in New York

Man, it's tougher

Not like in London Town

Boy, you suffer

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

People out in Hollywood

They got a lot of class

You see the boys struttin' down the boulevard

Tryna make a pass

Not like in New York

It's high rise, it's concrete and complex

Not like in old London Town

It reigns down on its subjects

[Chorus]

Nobody give a damn

When you're down on your luck

Nobody understand

When you're down on your luck

Lady chance, she won't dance

When you're down on your luck

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

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 got is Broadway

Not like the West End of London

You can't make it no way

[Chorus]

Nobody give a damn

When you're down on your luck

Nobody understands

When you're down on your luck

Lady chance won't dance

When you're down on your luck

Whoo-hoo

You gotta strut your stuff

When you're down on your luck

You can't take it easy, that ain't good enough

When you're down on your luck

Everybody's on the make

When you're down on your luck

Whoo-hoo

Nobody give a fair deal

When you're down on your luck

Nobody understands my Uncle Sam

When you're down on your luck

Whoo, 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

Mama, mama, mama, mama

When you're down on your luck
