Hollywood (Down On Your Luck) - Thin Lizzy

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 its 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 sliver 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

Being good ain’t good enough

When you’re down on your luck

Nobody give a fair deal

When you’re down on your luck

People out in Hollywood
