about

I've met a lot of people in the film and television industry over the years, and a lot of them have stories.This one is mostly, but not all, made up.

lyrics

Down on the street a caravan of supercars
Announce the night has turned
To
Day

They rattle drafty windows that strain to keep the golden morning light
At
Bay

Upstairs there’s a forgotten man
He broke his hip, he starves, and then he
Fades
Away

A floor below a woman secretly wishes
That the boy she dates would learn
To
Stray

Oh

And on a phone a text arrives
We’re sorry but you did not get
The part

It sits inside a gym bag that gets stolen
As she suffers for
Her art

And somewhere at the studio a producer’s niece
Instead becomes
A star

After paying all the dues she did during
That tough two weeks at
Julliard

Oh
It’s a gilded age
it’s a gilded age
it’s a gilded age
it’s a gilded age

And in a small town angry fingers
Punch expletives at the west coast
“libtard”

As his favorite hunting dog is choking on his chain
Out in the
Front yard

And in the inland empire there’s a man
Who was in pictures in the
Seventies

He’d found a missing extra in a trailer once
He tried but she just would not
Breathe

Oh
It’s a gilded age
it’s a gilded age
it’s a gilded age
it’s a gilded age

Our inland empire dolly grip
He worked just inches from the
Stars

And he’d spend hours wrapping up
As they departed in their
Supercars

One day the phone got quiet
And the call sheets didn’t call for just his
expertise

So he sold all of his autographs his stock and trade
And now he’s just like you and
Me

Oh
It’s a gilded age
