A bad actor's waiting in the wings   He lost his voice once visiting Sing Sing   California dreamin' online   A bad actor tells his girlfriend good lies      To be somebody      Teacher's pet on the college set   Quoting Shakespeare with Chimay beer   When the pearly gates left a nice estate   He drove a 4x4 to the PCH      In a semi-detached house off Melrose   With an agent that tells him to buy new clothes      To be somebody      Auditions come but he's never cast   With some new headshots and a year goes past   He sells the car and he takes the bus   To Musso and Frank's three martini lunch      I need a role   Find me a role      Midnight on Santa Monica Boulevard   After awhile acting ain't hard   If you're somebody's best boy on the QT   On the casting couch special agency   And the organ grinds and there's rent to pay   There's no violins or a place to stay   It's a bad scene on a perfect day   And it's 8 AM, lying on the ground   And they called your name but you still forgot   As they dragged you out of the parking lot      I need a role   Find me a role
