All American boy with big dreams of glamour life
Bright lights and boogie nights
The hype is "Everything could be yours if the price is right"
Grab your nothing and hold it tight
The first chance you get your heading out to the West
This decision is one you won't regret
Move to the place where everybody knows ya
Like Hollywood, Los Angeles, California

(chorus:)
So you wanna be a Superstar
Welcome to Hollywood
Quick money, fly women, fast cars
Welcome to Hollywood
So you wanna be a Superstar
Welcome to Hollywood
High times, big dreams, living large
Welcome to Hollywood

One way ticket, then you'll live this
Life of a Superstar caught up in this business
God as my witness, you will never change
Only been here a day, already in the game
You changed your name; you don't eve look the same
Now you're on top of the world
Money, Power, and Fame
Picture perfect, just like you planned
No longer him, 'cause you the man

(chorus)

You'll never get the best of me

The time ticks away, you've had your play
Sold your soul for the roll, now you gots to pay
Forfeit integrity, overnight celebrity
Settle for selfish gain rather than dignity
Another sucka, why did you trust a playa like me fool,
Eternal hustler
I'm taking everything and now you know
I hate to tell you but, I told you so

(chorus)

So you wanna be a Superstar
Welcome to Hollywood
Quick money, fly women, fast cars
Welcome to Hollywood
So you wanna be a Superstar
Welcome to Hollywood
High times, big dreams, get you large
A victim of Hollywood
