Song Description

A sad look at the price of fame

Lyrics

Come on, come on to where the grass is greener
Than the brightest neon green
Where the girls are perfect and the air is cleaner
Oh okay, so the air?s not all that clean

Go west, young man, as far as you can from where you first began
Follow your dreams no harder than it seems, never mind what your family says

Cause they don?t really know you, nobody really knows you like I do
They don?t understand you or the voices that demand you get on a plane and fly to

La la land

You?ll miss your friends, but someday soon they?re gonna see you
On the cover of a magazine
Don?t listen to them, you?re gonna be bigger than Keanu
I believe he pronounces it Keanu Reeves

California, here we come, so far from where you started from
Now you finally got your big break, so who cares what the critics say?

Cause they?ve never really seen you, nobody?s really seen you like I do
Yeah, they don?t really know you, nobody really knows you
But you?ll show them all back home when you?re a star

It?s not so bad to fight the crowd
It?s the price you pay for fame
Your mom and dad would be so proud
So proud if you hadn?t changed your name

Hooray for Hollywood but somehow it don?t feel like it should

Cause they don?t really know you, nobody really knows you like I do
Your fans don?t really know you, and only I can show you
That like the stars that you?ve been wishing on
Shine for one moment then you?re gone
