[Verse 1]
G#m           E                              B
Billy's been driving all night, he's got a dream
           B/A#
Wants to live up on the big screen
G#m         E                          B              B/A#
Just like Jimmy Dean, he's got his jacket on, and his hair combed just right
G#m          E                    B          B/A#
There's a hundred just like him in audition lines tonight


[Chorus]
B
I wish the walls would come down
             E                    B/A#
I wish the walls would come down
            B               G#m             E          B/A#
I wish the walls would come down on what's left of this faketown


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]
B
I wish the walls would come down
             E                    B/A#
I wish the walls would come down
            B               G#m             E          B/A#
I wish the walls would come down on what's left of this faketown

This faketown


[Bridge]
G#m                                  B
Well, you can fix your face, you can fix your hair
        E                      B/A#
You can fix you body, with this needle here
G#m                             B
They want to walk around like a pack of wolves
E                            B/A#
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


[Chorus/Outro]
G#m                             E   B  B/A#
I wish the walls would come down
