Dave Schauss - Hollywood Lives Lyrics

"Is that all you can say" she said
As she looked in her father's eyes
He just laughed bitterly
But you see tears in his eyes
There was so much he could have said or done
But he just couldn't find the words
Now it's all too late, she said
And that's the last thing she ever heard
She took the knife to end the fight
Spilled the blood of her bitter life
She didn't know where to turn
So she lit the candle and burned
Another dream
Another dream is cost
Another life
Another life is lost
What do you gain
To fight the world
And lose your soul
There was a boy in New Orleans
But it's the same everywhere you go
He thought he had it all worked out
But he didn't work out his soul
Well he went to church on Sunday
And he prayed to God above
But he didn't know who Christ is
No he never knew the love
He was on alarm, without a charm
Felt the scars upon his arm
Held on to envy, held on to pride
But let go of his life
Another dream
Another dream is cost
Another life
Another life is lost
What do you gain
To fight the world
And lose your soul
These are real life stories
Not just some made up Hollywood lives
There is no glamour, no fame
Just pain
This can be your road
Heading down a nowhere path
It's up to you
You can choose
Will you win, or will you lose
City lights are shining bright
But they don't shine on what's inside
Don't need the glamour, don't need the fame
We've got too much at stake
Another dream
Another dream is cost
Another life
Another life is lost
What do you gain
To fight the world
And lose your soul
