We have a very absorbing story of a girl
Who was forced into a game of terror
In which the dice were loaded with
No one knew if her face was black and blue
When she hit the water
But it was when they dragged her out
Are the rumors true?
And did you see those empty bottles?
They had come to see what the fuss was all about
And every cop in town was
Her audience that night
They had come from all around
They heard she was famous
But you'd never know
Except her hair was perfect
And everyone kind of felt like movie stars
And they went home so impressed

Cut to the scene, she turned seventeen
And do you still believe everything that your mother told you?
'Cause when you're born into this life
Reciting lines is a waste of time
You just go in there and close the door behind ya
And there's a world of difference
Between acing the audition
And doing whatever it takes to win the part
And all those other girls
Well, they just had to listen
They knew it took more than kissing
If you want to break somebody's heart

Doesn't matter who they're pointing at
'Cause the cameras always shine on you
Fifteen when you cut your pigtail
Washed up at twenty-two
Like Natalie Wood
