Billy's  been driving  all night, he's got a dream
 Wants to live  up on the big screen
Just  like Jimmy  Dean, he's got his jacket  on, and his hair  combed just right
There's  a hundred  just like him in  audition lines  tonight
I  wish the walls would come down
 I wish the walls  would come down
 I wish the walls  would come down  on what's left  of this  faketown
 Rosemary's driving downtown, something that she heard from some talent scout
 She's been working all day just to pay for those pictures to be done up in the right way
 And it was such a shame when he said that she was just another pretty face
 Said no one ever gets no where without shaking it here or there
 Honey life ain't fair
 I wish the walls would come down
 I wish the walls would come down
 I wish the walls would come down on what's left of this faketown
 This faketown
Well  you can fix your face, you can fix  your hair
 You can fix  you body, with this  needle  here
They  want to walk around like a pack  of wolves
And  they tell you you ain't good  enough
 And it ain't your fault, they say it ain't your time
 You just weren't cut out for the big time
 And don't you try to be yourself
 'Cause things like that, they never sell
I  wish the walls would come down
 (x10)
 I wish the walls would come down on what's left of this faketown
 This faketown
