Bakgrund

Lola, en ung och fattig kvinna som arbetar på boplatsens bordell, är en vara som allt annat i Brottet, reducerad till sin nytta för Ägarna. Men det finns de som bryr sig om människan bakom sminket, bakom rollen, även i den gråa vardagen bland torskar, skulder och hallickar.

Text

Lola,
You work so hard to win at everything
You're younger than you think
No it ain't over, Lola

Get out now while you can
Go, run away
There's nothing here to stay for
But you can make it, Lola

Lola, you're a princess to the boys at the bar
But they don't know you, they can't see who you are
You're a person, not a star
That's not a bad thing, Lola

You play the diva, you bitch and moan, but hey
You're just a frightened kid, but that's okay
Someone loves you,
Lola

Lola, your broken battered heart is gonna mend
You don't need another John, you need a friend
You've got one, Lola

Lola, you think things can never change and that's a shame
You need to get your head out of the game
How 'bout start using your real name
I know it's pretty, Lola

you're a princess to the boys at the bar
But they don't know you, they can't see who you are
You're a person, not a star
And that's not a bad thing, Lola
