Neil Sedaka - Cardboard California Lyrics
Nothing is real in cardboard CaliforniaJust waking up brings you downOne lousy deal is cardboard CaliforniaYou just can't survive in a make believe townLost in a city of little tin godsCold plastic people with phoney facadesHow can you win when you look at the oddsYou're running down a one way streetNobody cares if you surviveSometimes you beg or you don't eatYou gotta fight to stay aliveHey, you're never gonna get awayWhere 's the world you used to knowWhere did all the good times goLook around your hopes and dreams are goneBut like a fool you still keep hanging onMusicCome and be a movie starCome and drive a fancy carCome and see, what you really areLook in the mirror, mirrors don't lieYou're getting older, your time's past you byYou lost your shot to some younger guyYou're running down a one way streetNobody cares if you surviveSometimes you beg or you don't eatYou gotta fight to stay aliveHey, you're never gonna get awayNothing is real in cardboard CaliforniaJust waking up brings you downOne lousy deal is cardboard CaliforniaYou just can't survive in a make believe town
