Livin' On A Dream Lyrics

You've come a long way over the years

Refining your craft through blood sweat and tears

Only to be met with unfailing bureaucracy yeah eh

You're not the kind to complain about

All the stacked cards that life gives out

But you've been left with the joker and an air of uncertainty

And you can't take a chance on anybody who tells you

Sign here and I'll make you a star

Cause it's harder than it seems livin' on a dream

Though you never give up despite what people say yeah

An' you pay the price by what you're willing to sacrifice I tell you now

It just ain't easy tryin' to make it in the music game

You've worked for years just tryin' to get a break

But all the business seems to do is just take

Take you for a ride take the best years of your life

You're on the merry-go-round of tryin' to break L.A.

An' you starve for rock 'n roll cause its pay to play

But there's a burning inside of you that just won't let it die

Well you finally figured it out

There's gotta be a lot of truth in what they say

That it's harder than it seems livin' on a dream

Though you never give up despite what people say yeah

An' you pay the price by what you're willing to sacrifice I tell you now

It just ain't easy tryin' to make it in the music game

An when you hear things like we'll be in touch and move to L.A.

You realise that you're an universe away

But to do it right it ain't no crime

So take it slow make that song sublime

It just ain't easy

It's harder than it seems livin' on a dream

Though you never give up despite what people say yeah

An' you pay the price by what you're willing to sacrifice I tell you now

It just ain't easy tryin' to make it in the music game

It's harder than it seems (so hard)

Livin' on a dream (livin' on a dream)

Though you never give up despite what people say (don't listen to what they say) yeah

An' you pay the price by what you're willing to sacrifice I tell you now

It just ain't easy tryin' to make it in the music game no no no no

It just ain't easy tryin' to make it in the music game listen to me

It ain't a piece of cake trying to make it in the music game

You better remember it just ain't easy tryin' to make it in the music game
