Hollywood is a district in Los Angeles, California, United States situated west-northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the word Hollywood is often used as a metonym of American cinema. Today, much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as the Westside neighborhood, and the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, but significant auxiliary industries, such as editing, effects, props, post-production, and lighting companies remain in Hollywood, as does the backlot of Paramount Pictures.
On February 16, 2005, California Assembly Members Jackie Goldberg and Paul Koretz introduced a bill to require California to keep specific records on Hollywood as if it were independent, although it is not the typical practice of the City of Los Angeles to establish specific boundaries for districts or neighborhoods. For this to be done, the boundaries were defined. The bill was unanimously supported by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the Los Angeles City Council. Assembly Bill 588 was approved by the Governor of California on August 28, 2006, and now the district of Hollywood has official borders. The border can be loosely described as the area east of West Hollywood, south of Mulholland Drive, Laurel Canyon, Cahuenga Boulevard, and Barham Boulevard, and the cities of Burbank and Glendale, north of Melrose Avenue and west of the Golden State Freeway and Hyperion Avenue. This includes all of Griffith Park and Los Feliz[citation needed] – two areas that were hitherto considered separate from Hollywood by most Angelenos. The population of the district, including Los Feliz, as of the 2000 census was 123,436 and the median household income was $33,409 in 1999.
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. Often referred to as the King of Pop, or by his initials MJ, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.
In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary R&B, pop and rock artists.
Michael Steven Bublé ( /ˈbuːbleɪ/; born 9 September 1975) is an Italian Canadian singer and actor. He has won several awards, including three Grammy Awards and multiple Juno Awards. His first album reached the top ten in Canada and the UK. He found a worldwide audience with his 2005 album It's Time, and his 2007 album Call Me Irresponsible which reached number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, the U.K. Albums Chart, the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart, the Australian ARIA Albums Chart and several European charts. Bublé has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.
Michael Bublé was born in the City of Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada to Lewis Bublé, a salmon fisherman, and Amber (née Santagà). He has two younger sisters, Crystal (an actress) and Brandee. He attended Seaforth Elementary School and Cariboo Hill Secondary School. According to an Oprah interview on 9 October 2009, Bublé dreamed of becoming a famous singer since age two. When he was a teenager, he slept with his Bible and prayed to become a singer. Bublé's interest in jazz music began around age five when his family played Bing Crosby's White Christmas album at Christmas time. The first time that his family noticed his singing talent was at Christmas time when Bublé was 13 years old, and they heard him powerfully sing the phrase "May your days be merry and bright" when the family was singing to the song "White Christmas" in a car ride.

Hollywood
Atlanta, Georgia made her the Ctoon Queen
L.A. bound, she had visions of the silver screen
But Hollywood ain't nothin' but glamor and lights
To a blue-eyed blond with stars in her eyes
Her days are long, Lord, her nights are longer yet
Tryin' to find a part that will make her the Queen of Sex
She's realizin' what it's all about
From too many nights upon the casting couch
Hollywood parties and thrills
The mansion in her mind is somewhere in Beverly Hills
She's been discovered too many times
Standing on the corner of Hollywood and Vince
She makes her entrance now a days through the swingin' doors
She found her stage on a hardwood barroom floor
But it's not the bottom, just part of a long, hard fall
Her biggest fan's the man tonight she'll give her all
The dream is dyin' of her name on the marquee
The folks back home wonder what happened to their Queen
The mornin' papers told it in black and white
Calling it another Hollywood suicide
Hollywood parties and thrills
The mansion in her mind is somewhere in Beverly Hills
She's been discovered too many times
Whose jalopy is covered with junk
But don't have any money for lunch?
It's Hollywood, it's Hollywood
Who's the local star
With the big, fine car?
It's Hollywood
Who wears the shady glasses after dark?
Who tries to talk the little girlie's into parking?
It's Hollywood, Hollywood
Who's the local yokel with
The horn rimmed bifocals?
It's Hollywood
Go, go, go
Who else would hold a cigarette like that?
Who else would wear a little Frenchy's hat?
No one but Hollywood, Hollywood
Who thinks he's been around
But ain't never been out of town?
It's Hollywood
I'll give you just one little guess
At who old Hollywood's trying to impress
You're right, it's Hollywood, Hollywood
Who's that farmer
Who think he's a charmer?
It's Hollywood
Yeah, it's Hollywood all right
Here Hollywood, here's a quarter
Go buy yourself some, ah, continental pants
Orange and yellow and purple and green
The lights of the city at night set the scene
Stumble through the bars of forget me not lane
Sparkle through the glitter but don't show the pain
In Hollywood, underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood, come to the party the drinks are on me for free
Heartbeats echo through a cavern of love
Come to the tavern I'll meet you up above
Soaring through the heavens, what a fabulous ride
But everybody's heading for the same place to hide
In Hollywood, underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood, come to the party the drinks are on me for free
The drinks on me for free, the drinks on me for free
by Michael Nesmith
The sun that's falling from the southwestern sky
Tells me that I must depart,
So, by sundown today, I'll be on my way,
But I'll be leaving my heart.
It's not the countryside that appealed to my eyes,
It's the spirit and it captured my mind,
But the things I tried to be made a wreck out of me,
Now a different road, I must find.
These things I think are new, I guess they're really old,
It seems I've done 'em once before
Now, to go back to that fork in the road,
Takes all the strength of my soul and more.
Oh, goodbye, goodbye you cruel town,
You've been a fair-weather friend,
Now I will go to some places that I know
Where things don't start just to end.
These things I think are new, I guess they're really old,
It seems that I've done 'em once before,
Now, to go back to that fork in the road,
Takes all the strength of my soul and more.
Oh, goodbye, good goodbye you cruel town,
You've been a fair-weather friend,
Now I will go to some place that I know
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's waited at bus stops all his life
He's been in and out of those spaces
Seein' eyes that spoke to him
From sad and gifted places, sad and gifted places
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
You know he's gonna be dressed to kill
He's gonna find some brand new thrills
Whatever he's been looking for
Tell him that there's so much more in Hollywood, Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
Painted faces, sunburnt skin
Fixed expressions, smiles worn thin
Caught in the blink of neon of Hollywood
Bending battles, maneuvering schemes
False expressions, washed up dreams
Everybody makes believe in Hollywood, Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
Ich muß jetzt raus hier
Deutschland macht mich krank
ich hab 'ne Oma und ein
Sparbuch auf der Bank
ich hab noch Haare auf dem Kopf
es ist noch nicht zu spät
ich start' jetzt noch mal richtig durch
eh mir die Lust vergeht
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
Mein Vater hat mich früh verlassen
der stand nicht auf die Welt
meine Mutter sprach, beseelt von Fleiß:
"Achte auf dein Geld"
Und meine Freundin Gisela
die hätt' es gern geseh'n
daß ich nun endlich anfange
ihre Lage zu versteh'n
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
Ich werd' jetzt mein' Kadett verkaufen
und auch mein Video
ich pumpe die Verwandtschaft an
mein' Onkel sowieso
und dann schreib ich der Gisela:
Mit dir, da war es nett
ich laß' von mir ein Bild noch da
das häng' dir übers Bett
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
They say people out in Hollywood
Live their life out in black and white
They're livin' out a Technicolor dream
Next day, they're a star overnight
Not like in New York
Man, it's tougher
Not like in London town
Boy, you suffer
Nobody give a break
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the take
When you're down on your luck
You can't make a mistake
When you're down on your luck
People out in Hollywood
They got a lot of class
You see the boys struttin' down the boulevard
Tryin' to make a pass'
Not like in New York
It's high rise, it's concrete and complex
Not like in ol' London town
It reigns down on its subjects
Nobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
Lady Chance, she won't dance
When you're down on your luck
People out in Hollywood
They can make it to the stars
They can reach the screen
Drive around in big expensive convertible cars
Not like in New York
All you've got is Broadway
Not like in the West end of London
You can't make it no way
Nobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
Lady Chance, she won't dance
When you're down on your luck
You've got to strut your stuff
When you're down on your luck
You can't take it easy, it ain't good enough
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the make
When you're down on your luck
Nobody give a fair deal
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands my Uncle Sam
When you're down on your luck
I'm ready for the dance
When you're down on your luck
I gotta make a dollar holler
When you're down on your luck
Listen, I've got the sickest ambition.
Deep in the mirror I am scared,
Don't know who the hell is there.
Yeah, I'm losing my reflection.
Obsession
The thing it's our new religion.
Each model and celebrity
Changes how I look at me.
Oh, don't tell me, don't tell me
I'll never be
A superstar 'cause I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Hollywood, Hollywood
In Hollywood, In Hollywood
Women, let's talk about our condition.
How beauty's a commodity,
Women don't get the best things,
Battered liver though, with poison.
I am the bill.
In the world without me, this vision.
Sure Hollywood's commercially amorous
But naturally, me? Quite ugly as hell.
Tell me I'm not sixteen!
Like a superstar, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Hollywood, Hollywood
Hollywood, Hollywood
Within a year I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Like a superstar, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Within the year I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Like superstars, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
In Hollywood, Hollywood
Hollywood, HollywoodLike a superstar, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Within the year I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Like superstars, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
In Hollywood, Hollywood
As time was ticking we were winning
And it all was going as planned
Politicians stand between the lines
Of making headlines, street signs
Saying, you're going the wrong way, fading faster now
You can try to break us and make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone
And don't forget to hold back your thoughts
And live like robots 'cause we all know what goes on
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone, we're gone, so gone
Fallen soldiers, all around us
But we're still standing strong
Embarrassing and contradicting
'Cause now we're making headlines, prime time
Saying, what a story, Billboards, packed tours, don't forget
You can try to break us and make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone
And don't forget to hold back your thoughts
And live like robots 'cause we all know what goes on
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone, we're gone, so gone
And game over, you're done, ooh
Out of left field, we won
And pack our bags, yeah, we'll run
Hollywood, here we come
You can try to break us and make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone
And don't forget to hold back your thoughts
And live like robots 'cause we all know what goes on
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone, we're gone
You can try to break us and make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone
I've got a picture in my head (in my head)
It's me and you, we are in bed (we are in bed)
You'll always be there when I call (when I call)
You'll always be there most of all (all, all, all)
This is not Hollywood
Like I understood
This is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
This is not Hollywood
Like I understood
This is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
Away, runaway, is there anybody there
Away, runaway, is there anybody there
Get away, get away, get away
Get away, get away, get away
I've got a picture in my room, (in my room)
I will return there I presume. (should be soon)
The greatest irony of all, (shoot the wall)
It's not so glamorous at all (at all at all)
This is not Hollywood
Like I understood
This is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
This is not Hollywood
Like I understood
This is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
Runaway, runaway, is there anybody there
Runaway, runaway, is there anybody there
Get away, get away, Get away
Get away, get away, Get away
This is not Hollywood
(Runaway)
This is not Hollywood
Like, like, like

[Bonus Track]
I'm living in the hills
My accountant pay my bills
I got a Mercedes-Benz
I hope this life never ends
And something's always happening when I show up
Man he drops a line about some bump uptown
For a disco diamond dog he met at the pound
The way she stood, I knew he would
His money is good
In Hollywood
I'm living with my man
No marriage in the plan
But like Mercedes Ruehl
He's gonna find I'm a jewel
And my boyfriend says he wants to break up
So I brought my pills and my makeup ground
Just in case I stay over or sleep on the town
The way she stood, I knew he would
The head is good
In Hollywood
And every goddamn things serves to remind me
That I'm alive but someday they're gonna find me
On the ground
I'm living on the street
I've got blisters on my feet
Could you spare some change for some food?
You ain't got to be so rude
And I've got no family to speak of
But I've got some cardboard and a tea cup
Found it in the garbage
You kick me, tell me to move up and down
The avenue, but I like the view
The sun is so good
In Hollywood
Spare a minute and listen to my story
There's fame, fortune and of course there is sex and glory
Bound for the big time houses, the rich side of town
The way he stood, I knew he would
The sun is so good
In Hollywood
All American boy with big dreams of glamour life
Bright lights and boogie nights
The hype is everything could be yours if the price is right
grab your nothing and hold it tight
The first chance you get your heading out to the west
this decision is one you won't regret
move to the place where everybody knokws ya :
Like Hollywood, los angeles, california
So you wanna be a superstar
welcome to hollywood
quick money, fly women, fast cars
welcome to hollywood
So you wanna be a superstar
welcome to hollywood
High times, big dreams, living large
welcome to hollywood
One way ticket, then youll live this
life of a superstar caught up in this business
god as my witness, you will never change
only been here a day, already in the game
You changed your name; you dont even look the same
Now youre on top of the world, money, power, and fame
Picture perfect, just like you planned
No longer him cause, you da man
You'll never get the best of me
The time ticks away, you've had your play
Sold your soul for the roll, now you gots to pay
Forfeit integrity, overnight celebrity
Settle for selfish gain rather than dignity
Another sucka, why did you trust a playa like me fool, eternal hustla
Please don't be too long, while you're gone
There ain't enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time, I stood in line
Just enough to keep me bouncing off the wall, yeah
The new day, the new tray that comes around
Pills and all enough to kill him while he sleeps
Is this the alley we dragged him to
Just off of Hollywood and Normandy
It didn't work like she said, "It would"
Just like livin' in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency
Oo, it didn't work like she said, "It would"
Just like livin' in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency
Please don't be too long, while you're gone
There ain't enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time, I stood in line
Just enough to keep me bouncing off the wall
Oo, it didn't work like she said, "It would"
Just like livin' in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency
Oo, it didn't work like she said, "It would"
Just like livin' in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream or so it seems
The way you read the crowd, the way you make them pay
You stepped in and did the scene a whole new way
No one would resist you now and even if they could
Hollywood just never had it quite this good
I see your name in lights, I see them standing in line
They send the cards and the wine
Broadway here she comes
You should be a natural
Camera, action, do it again
(Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(Yeah, gonna make you a star)
Camera, action, do it again
(Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(To get you this part)
No one had to tell you what your smile was for
You sure there's not an uncle name of Barrymore
Now she did this and she did that you are the latest talk
Now there lining up for you around the block
Throwing roses and Holy Moses
Even the Times say
Sparks fell from the skies
That gets you immortalized
Camera, action, do it again
(Oh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(Yeah, I'm gonna make you a star)
Camera, action, do it again
Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(To get you this part)
They gave you 5 stars, they're sending big cars
And Sunset Boulevard will never be the same
You give it a brand new name
Camera, action, do it again
(Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(Yeah, I'm gonna make you a star)
Camera, action, do it again
(Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(To get you this part)
Camera, action, do it again
(Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(To get you this part)
Camera, action, do it again
What a reaction, do it again
Camera, action, do it again
What a reaction, do it again
Camera, action, do it again
All summer
It never leaves your face
You've got the sunshine
Bright-eyed California
Cotton candy taste
[chorus]
Yeah Hollywood
You know I love you more
Than one man should
Yeah Hollywood
Kiss me kiss me good
Oh pretty stars
They love to sparkle for you
You've got that hip lock
Lay it back
Animated groove attitude
[chorus]x3
[chorus]
Yeah Hollywood
You know I love you more
Than one man should
Yeah Hollywood
Kiss me kiss me good
I'm living in the hills

Hey you pretty boys and girls
D'ya really wanna make it?
I like the sexy ones
With the long blond curles
We'll supply the make-up
You don't need to know a thing about rock'n'roll
The record's already a hit
There's been a million sold
Straight out of Hollywood
Like all of our heroes
Straight out of Hollywood
We're going to the Rock Show
We're gonna take you all the way
Down Sunset Boulevard
We'll spare no extravagance
Straight out of Hollywood
Do you all wanna play some rock'n'roll?
Do you all wanna stand out in the light?
Who wants to drive a Cadillac?
Who wants to live in Beverly Hills?
Straight out of Hollywood
Like all of our heroes
Straight out of Hollywood
We're going to the Rock Show
We're gonna take you all the way
Down Sunset Boulevard
We'll spare no extravagance
Straight out of Hollywood
They say people out in Hollywood

Being good ain't good enough
When you're down on your luck
Nobody give a fair deal
When you're down on your luck
People out in Hollywood
In the middle of the side of the road
I'm a cynical baby
So your god fell in love with the war
Well he's only your God
I'm the first male lesbian
I feel less being jaded
The gayest straight boy that you'll ever meet
And I meet everyone only not in the flesh
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in
In the middle of the side of the road
I'm a cynical baby
So your god fell in love with the war
He never knew why but hell, he made a fault
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in
Head's tied to a rolling sculpture
Limp feet proceed to hold me
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in
We're living in
We're living in
We're living in
We're living in, we're living in
Here I am again
Sitting, watching all these people that I'll never see again
Goodbye to all my friends
I'm leaving this place and I'm never lookin' back again, my friend
'Cause I'm goin' to Hollywood
I'm chasin' my dreams again
'Cause I'm goin' to Hollywood
And I'll never be the same
It keeps turnin' 'round
And everything seems fine and dandy here in Tinseltown for now
What do you make of it
When everybody's doin' drugs and makin' promises like this?
'Cause I'm goin' to Hollywood
I'm chasin' my dreams again
'Cause I'm goin' to Hollywood
And I'll never be the same
'Cause I'm goin' to Hollywood
I'm chasin' my dreams again
'Cause I'm goin' to Hollywood
And I'll never be the same
I'm goin' to Hollywood
I'm chasin' my dreams again
I'm goin' to Hollywood
Film the streets, film the city
It ain’t big, it ain’t pretty
Anti-septic, clean and sterile
Wasted youth, distorted truth
I hate Hollywood [x2]
I hate the way you walk
I hate the way you talk
I hate your empty smile
I hate your sense of style
I hate Hollywood [x2]
I hate Hollywood
And I hate Hollywood
You lied again
Maybe this time you'll feel better
We'll try again
We fight again
Baby, I could make you feel better
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
Would you say it to me?
Hollywood, how I love you
Would you say it to me?
If I could, I would kiss you
Believe me, believe me, believe me
I just called your name
And say I wanted be attached to it
And I just spell your name
And say I wanna get through to you
But this is how we live our lives
Little holes inside of lies
But I wanna get through
It's time to get through to you
Say it to me
Hollywood, how I love you
Would you say it to me?
If I could, I would kiss you
Believe me, believe me, believe me
You lied again
Maybe this time you'll feel better
We'll try again
We fight again
Baby, I could make you feel better
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
You lied again
Maybe this time you'll feel better
We'll try again
We fight again
Baby, I could make you feel better
(Believe me)
Would you say it to me?
Hollywood, how I love you
Would you say it to me?
If I could, I would kiss you
Heaven, everything you wanted
You know what you came for
Tell me what you got right now
Ain't it funny, they all come for money
From Maine to Arizona
And a star out on the Walk of Fame
Do you like it, go and shout it
Play it harder, never doubt it
Now in a world of constant change
Nothin' stays the same
They'll run you outa here, that's Hollywood
And though you think you'll never change
You're not quite the same
It all seems so sincere, in Hollywood
Winnin', winnin' makes you over
The glory days roll by you
You're leavin' all the clouds behind
And the losers don't have much to offer
But they can drag you under
As fast as you can draw the line
And though you're really not to blame
You fall into your fame
The flames are oh so near, in Hollywood
And when you think you know their game
Somethin' quite so strange
No one knows you're here, in Hollywood
So you're dancin' on the dotted line
They got you workin' workin' overtime
It's a shame, shame, shame
You can't fight it, don't deny it
You can't hide it
The way you do the things you do
They say that some things never change
The plot remains the same
No one wins out here, in Hollywood
And though you think you're not to blame
You fall into your fame

Flames are oh so near, in Hollywood
And with the real world out of range
Can you make the change
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's waited at bus stops all his life
He's been in and out of those spaces
Seein' eyes that spoke to him
From sad and gifted places, sad and gifted places
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood, where you goin' now?
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood, where you goin' now?
You know he's gonna be dressed to kill
He's gonna find some brand new thrills
Whatever he's been looking for
Tell him that there's so much more in Hollywood, Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood, where you goin' now?
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
Painted faces, sunburnt skin
Fixed expressions, smiles worn thin
Caught in the blink of neon of Hollywood
Bending battles, maneuvering schemes
False expressions, washed up dreams
Everybody makes believe in Hollywood, Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
Been trying to be cool ever since high school
Cool like the stars and sexy people in bars
The stars will fall they'll line up in the hall
May sound nice, but it's ugly inside
I lost all my pride
Taken apart
One more false start
How do you think we're gonna do this time around
You're the queen of sound
Been trying to hear something complete
No microtones and no backbeat
Been trying to be cool ever since high school
I seen ya lately, hangin' out in hollywood
I dig ya baby, i'ld samba wich ya if I could
And one day maybe, i'll shake it wich ya
And one day maybe, i'll shake it wich ya really good
I seen ya lately, hangin' out in hollywood
I dig ya baby, i'd samba wich ya if i could
(you could? you could?)
But I'm austrakie, i nowhere near yr neighbourhood
I could be crazy (he's fuckin' crazy)
I could be crazy
I tell ya straightly, i don't know if ya understood
See that lady she so fine
She put shiver in your spine
She know how to bump & grind
She so cool & so refined
She be shakin' her behind
She got some cool design
She know how to bump & grind
She so cool & so refined
I seen ya lately, hangin' out in hollywood
I dig ta baby, i'd samba wich ya if i could
(she know how to bump & grind
She so cool & so refined)
I seen ya lately, hangin' out in hollywood
I dig ya baby, i'd samba wich ya if i could
(she's famous, you're not famous)
I'm gonna shake it wich ya
(she's famous, you're not famous)
I'm attracted to his glitz and his glamour, I'm attracted to the lights in his eyes
And once you get a taste of his poison, you'll get all wrapped up in his lies
You don't have to give in and fall for nothing
Even if you were to feel that you were through
You're an angel that's casted out from heaven
It's sad but true and makes me wonder why
It's over, said and done
Looks like they found themselves a new one
And just like that a star is born
It makes me wonder
Hollywood, Hollywood, do you have a heart at all?
And is it real? Just let me know
Hollywood, Hollywood, do you give a shit at all?
And do you feel what people feel?
'Cause there's a one in a million chance you'll make it big someday
Don't sell your soul to have what someone had yesterday
Hollywood
Oh, Hollywood
Mother always told me, "Jo, be careful, everything that glitters ain't gold"
"Don't fall in love with a promising man because he'll just use you and leave you for broke"
So you signed your name on the line, don't read the fine print
Thinking you'll blow up over night, night
Gave the world, but your wings, you lost them
Drowning in the tears that you cry and that's why
It's over, said and done
Looks like they found themselves a new one
And just like that a star is born
It makes me wonder
Hollywood, Hollywood, do you have a heart at all?
And is it real? Just let me know
Hollywood, Hollywood, do you give a shit at all?
And do you feel what people feel?
'Cause there's a one in a million chance you'll make it big someday
Don't sell your soul to have what someone had yesterday
Hollywood
Oh, Hollywood
We're living in a place of tinsel and wear
Everything is fake, faded and worn
Relying on your looks can only take you so far
But even then you got girls chasing dollar bills
And left looking for a thrill
It's not real 'cause in time it will all disappear
Hollywood, Hollywood, do you have a heart at all?
And is it real? Just let me know
Hollywood, Hollywood, do you give a shit at all?
And do you feel what people feel?
'Cause there's a one in a million chance you'll make it big someday
Don't sell your soul to have what someone had yesterday
Hollywood
Oh, Hollywood
Not alone
Not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
He's on his way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's bussing into Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's hopping into Hollywood
He's waited at bus stops, all his life
He's been in and out of lost places
Seen eyes that spoke to him
From sad and empty place
He's on his way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's bussing into Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's hopping into Hollywood
You know he's gonna be dressed to kill
He's gonna find some brand new thrill
What ever it is he's looking for
You better tell him that there's so much more
In Hollywood, Hollywood
He's on his way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's bussing into Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's hopping into Hollywood
Painted faces, sunburned skin
Mixed expressions, smile whore thin
Caught in the blink of Hollywood
And in battle of maneuvering skin
False expressions, washed out dreams
Everybody makes believe in Hollywood
He's on his way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's bussing into Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
If I was in a movie
I would hold my head up high
And if I was in a movie
I would never be this shy
I would shout out loud and be so proud
Of what I have to say
And if I was in a movie
I would never let you get away
If I was in a movie
I would stand the test of time
If I was in a movie
I would get away with crime
I would run so fast
And always last the distance of the day
And if I was in a movie
I would never let you get away
This is not Hollywood
There is no camera in my room
This is not Hollywood
The flowers grow before they bloom
Well you can hide away when you walk in dusky light of night
This is not Hollywood
This is my life
If I was in a movie
I would never be this sad
If I was in a movie
I would have more than I have
I would show the world I'm just a girl
Who has so much to say
And if I was in a movie
I would never have let you get away
This is not Hollywood
There is no camera in my room
This is not Hollywood
The flowers grow before they bloom
Well you can hide away when you walk in dusky light of night
This is not Hollywood
This is my life
You talk so loud, you talk so much and you talk so funny,
But honey, what are you talkin' about ?
Something 'bout being, being reimbursed
For every unregistered virus.
Drainpipes are filled up with dirty rain,
And the leisure train is speeding in the diamond lane.
With electricity shut off again
Leaving the night-life only for the madmen.
Oh my God
They've sold Hollywood,
Burned down my neighborhood,
Even shot Robin Hood.
An' oh my God,
I guess it was never understood,
To understand brotherhood
Right from wrong
And the bad from the good.
Well, everybody's got their own smoke-screens
With personal armies for everyone in between.
With plastic rifles given to every team
What a beautiful dream, even bullets have guarantees.
An' oh my God
They've sold Hollywood,
Burned down my neighborhood,
Even shot Robin Hood.
An' oh my God,
I guess it was never understood,
To understand brotherhood
Right from wrong
And the bad from the good.
There's the sweetest evil image detector
As sweet as nectar, an overrated candy dispenser.
She don't give food to eat or anybody, anyplace to sleep,
But she can tell you, what you can and what you can't create.
An' oh my God
They've sold Hollywood,
Burned down my neighborhood,
Even shot Robin Hood.
Oh my God,
I guess it was never understood,
To understand brotherhood
Right from wrong
And the bad from the good.
An' oh my God
They've sold Hollywood,
Burned down my neighborhood,
Even shot Robin Hood.
An' oh my God,
Guess it was never understood
To understand brotherhood
Right from wrong
I've got a picture in my head (in my head)
It's me and you , we are in bed (we are in bed)
You'll always be there when I call (when I call)
You'll always be there most of all. (all, all, all)
This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.
This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Get away, Get away, Get away!
Get away, Get away, Get away!
I've got a picture in my room, (in my room)
I will return there I presume. (should be soon)
The greatest irony of all, (shoot the wall)
It's not so glamorous at all (all, all, all)
This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.
This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Get away, Get away, Get away!
Get away, Get away, Get away!
This is not Hollywood
(Runaway)
Sometimes I get down goin' south,
Take it easy, let go, then Im out,
People in Hollywood take away the good,
Not goin' home but I know I should...
Get out,
I'm out
Packing up my bags I'm leaving town,
I call my mum and she says that I can,
And everytime I lose myself,
I'm just another girl,
Hangin' round,
Hangin' down,
In Hollywood
In Hollywood
Put on my boots I'm goin' home,
Headin' back to Texas, I'm gone,
Hey ya'll wheres the party goin' on?,
Cuz I'm out,
Yeah I'm out
Packing up my bags Im leaving town,
I call my mum and she says that I can,
And everytime I lose myself,
I'm just another girl,
Hangin' round,
I'm hangin' down,
It's the real thing
Safety's off
Are you there
Are you there for me
By my side
An angel
Who dodge the bullets wide
It feels right
On a beach
When you talk
You talk without a sound
And when you walk
Your feet hardly touch the ground
But you're there
By my side
But you're there for me
When all this is over
Heaven knows I'm going nowhere
I was only dreaming
Censored for a deeper meaning
It wears off
Like lipstick on your skin
Like a day that won't begin
Waking up
And you can't remember
Where you've been
It's time
We get things straight
Are you there
Are you there for me
Back for good
I'm calling up my Cheri
Tell her that I'm gonna leave
Cause I'm movin' on
to Hollywood you see
It's always been a life long dream
For my family
To see me
On that silver screen
And I know I can't go wrong....
Cause I finally found my song
I'm headin' where I belong...Hollywood
I know there's something in store for me
(But) nothing like the tragedies
That have seen me through
In real life you see
Next time that you see me
I'll be done with misery
I'll be shinnin' bright
For all the world to see
And I know I can't go wrong....
I'm headin' where I belong..Hollywood
I know that something's there for me...I'm flying free
That's why I'm calling up my Cheri
Tell her that I'm gonna leave
Cause dreams are free
In Hollywood you see
And I know I can't go wrong....cause I finally found my song...
I'm headin' where I belong...
Hollywood...Hollywood
And I know I can't go wrong ...

I got a picture of my friends and me
Sitting outside Thistletown Laundry at night
That looks like me between the Holly twins
Singing hey ho this is your life
And there's old Ruby and her worn out magazines
And the guy we called Joe Cinnamon who's polishing his speech
Hey it looks like Hollywood
Hey it looks like Hollywood
Joe married one of the Holly twins
And they ran the local five and dime
My mama told me that the other twin
Got a teaching job at Thistletown High
But me and Ruby and her worn out magazines
Jumped a box car on the western line by ol' Cole Martin's stream
Well me and Ruby had big plans
Gonna' move to the city gonna' be larger than life
Just like the girl beside the Marlboro man
And the pretty lady in the Ivory ad
Thistletown, Indiana is no place for me
Give me miles and miles of neon signs and flashy magazines
Me, I sold my camera for a string of beads
And Ruby sold he mother's china figurines
I got a picture of Ruby and me
Selling candy bars at the Roxy
The guy who took it called us calendar girls
And he said someday he'd make us famous
But me and Ruby never made no magazines
I'd buy a Martoni Marquis
Ride San Fernando Valley
I know I could in Hollywood
Hotdamn the L.A. Freeway
Wear mink from Montego Bay
I know I could in Hollywood
Wanna toot-toot la
In a single's bar
Gonna iron out my kinks
Play Matahara here
And the Sahara there
Won't you spin me for a drink?
You know what really blew my mind
Is that I could not be denied
That's when I began to emancipate
CHORUS
In Hollywood, Holly-Hollywood
Hollywood, Holly-Hollywood
I'd do it good
In Hollywood
"Hello Darling...
This is Zsa Zsa talking to you out there"
You know I really could have cried
When Mama said "Be good... Goodbye!"
I hardly could in Hollywood
Wanna deja vu
With a working crew
Well if you like it do it twice
I hit the hit parade
And start to generate
Live a social paradise
And when my time is up
I'm gonna fill my cup
Then I'll drown myself in sweet whiskey fizz
CHORUS
In Hollywood, Holly-Hollywood
Hollywood, Holly-Hollywood
I'd do it good
(K. Fowley/J. Fox/J. Jett)
Each night alone I dream
That I'm a rebel roller queen
I'll be a star that shines
I can make the whole world mine
Hollywood it feels so good
Hollywood it feels so good
Each day at home I scheme
For the fame and fortune dream
Gonna be a superstar
With my fancy clothes and cars
Hollywood it feels so good
Hollywood it feels so goodI can make it, make it, make it, make it
Cause I can take it, take it, take it,take it
Each time the radio plays

To be a star hit the scene but really seem like march
Your shit is too dramatic, and ya'll ain't speakin I'm

But smoking mirrors is the case that the foolies get
trapped in
Whenever there's a camera on, here comes sposefal from

Ói nós aqui, Ói nós aqui,
Hollywood fica ali bem perto,
só não vê quem tem um olho aberto
Ói nós aqui, Ói nós aqui,
Hollywood é um sonho de cenário,
Vi um pau-de-arara milionário
E eu que nem sonhava conhecer o tal Recife,
Pobre saltimbanco trapalhão.
Hoje sou mocinho, sou vizinho do xerife,
dou rabo-de-arraia em tubarão
Ói nós aqui, Ói nós aqui,
Tem de tudo nessa Hollywood,
Vi um índio cheio de saúde
Ói nós aqui, Ói nós aqui,
How do you do?
Caruaru, I wanna see piripipi. Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui, Ói nós aqui,
Camelôs, malucos e engraxates,
Aproveitem enquanto o sonho é grátis
Quem há de negar que é bom dançar, que a vida é bela,
neste fabuloso Xanadu.
Eu só tenho medo de amanhã cair da tela
e acordar na casa do Bubu
Ói nós aqui, Ói nós aqui,
How do you do?
Banabuiú, I wanna buy o Paraguai.
Hollywood and me
Ói nós aqui (vixe!)

[Verse 1: Tedashii]
Remember when we were kids saying things that were did
By me and you, but too ashamed to admit that th-th-they were fibs
Sippin' on Mr. Pibb playing with neighbors kids
And I front to fall asleep so I could chill at your crib
House parties like play and kid listening to Gangster Nip
Tripping off Ghetto Boys how they mind kept playing tricks
Hide and seek with my sister's friends Tonight like DJ Quick
Natural born sinners slowly loosing our innocence
This was all just the start of it like working with a starter kit
I went from bad to worse when I saw Cube put on that Starter fit
Pressure started marching in cause all my friends were part of it
It seduced me even more like a girl who plays hard to get
"Cool" gave my heart a kiss told me, give my all to this
Did it all so I felt obligated to be part of this
Anything to garner this stardom that was hard to miss
Fartherless, so Hollywood guided, through the dark abyss
[Hook: Rozie Turner]
Stepped in the cineplex just passed the Cinnabon fin' to see what's playing next (yes)
HOLLYWOOD
(Hey) I got my butter and my popcorn my crew is with me and we feeling like it's not wrong
HOLLYWOOD
Like it's so cool to watch upcoming attractions, blinded by the distractions
Don't be so complacent with cheap imitations, need godly inspiration so we can't replace it,
With HOLLYWOOD
[Verse 2: Tedashii]
Remember when we were kids saying things that were did
By me and you, but too ashamed to admit that th-th-they were fibs
Hooping up at the gym lust had us chasing Kim
Acting hard but riding clean bumping that BoysIIMen
Watching the latest films Quote it and take it in
Lustful flesh had us actin gangsta like Doughboy did
Lived like them boys in the hood but stayed trill
Out the Tre, so you can say I'm Furious Styles kid
My Love Jones was shy but my Justice was Poetic
All I needed was the Juice and then my Blues would be Mo' Better
I would listen to the Preacher's Wife but I'd go back like Boomerang
My set would Set It Off and we'd be right back in that New Jack swang
Pride of Life had me like O-Dog and Higher Learning guided me
Momma said Lean On Me but I'm a Menace to Society
All that "drama" mixed with sinning, the women with them in linen
Seem to spark a cycle unrivaled and never ending (ending)
[Hook: Rozie Turner]
Stepped in the cineplex just passed the Cinnabon fin' to see what's playing next (yes)
HOLLYWOOD
(Hey) I got my butter and my popcorn my crew is with me and we feeling like it's not wrong
HOLLYWOOD
Like it's so cool to watch upcoming attractions, blinded by the distractions
Don't be so complacent with cheap imitations, need godly inspiration so we can't replace it,
With HOLLYWOOD
[Verse 3: Tedashii]
I been learning from this teacher, since I was in the nursery
A victim of it's preaching cause she said she'd give the world to me
At least that's what I thought I heard Hollywood was celebrated
She could easily mess up the lines of real and imitation
And like Adam, we ate the fruit of prideful racketeering
Just so we could all see Eve without the leaves and bangled earrings
It's the lies that they tell you, you start to believe
And if truth is what you make it then you're ready to receive
A slave to the trade sinful ways cause of this artistry
Until I met the One, who was knocking at my hearts entry
Some say He's unattractive when compared to the glitz and glam
But, I was glad to look behind the bush to see a ram
Who set me free from sin, along with false identity
Because until we know the Savior, God is our enemy
So don't let the world and it's devices, advise you
Instead trust the truth of the Father found in the bible
[Hook: Rozie Turner]
Stepped in the cineplex just passed the Cinnabon fin' to see what's playing next (yes)
HOLLYWOOD
(Hey) I got my butter and my popcorn my crew is with me and we feeling like it's not wrong
HOLLYWOOD
Like it's so cool to watch upcoming attractions, blinded by the distractions
Don't be so complacent with cheap imitations, need godly inspiration so we can't replace it,
[Verse 1]
She’s gone Hollywood on me
She thinks everyone is watching,
It’s all about drugs and money and a back-door when she leaves
Whooo do you think you are? You are just a little fish in a sea of sharks
From the past you are hiding and you don’t wanna be reminded
[Chorus]
Nooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got, noooo
I don’t even think that I want what’s left of your heart
I used to think that I can make you happy then you go and throw it right back at me
Noooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got
[Verse 2]
She’s got her jeans from the TV
But they don’t include me
It’s like all we have been through means nothing
And there’s nothing left to see
Whooo do you think you are? Feels like I don’t know you anymore.
We used to be friends and lovers
And I miss that most of all
[Chorus]
Nooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got, noooo
I don’t even think that I want what’s left of your heart
I used to think that I can make you happy then you go and throw it right back at me
Noooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got
[Verse 3]
All you need is star on an arm and a picture to show your friends
Sweet nothings to look bitter and
[Chorus]
Nooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got, noooo
I don’t even think that I want what’s left of your heart
I used to think that I can make you happy then you go and throw it right back at me
Noooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got
Noooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got
Noooo I don’t even think that I want what’s left of your heart
I used to think that I can make you happy
Then you go and throw it right back at me
Noooo you don’t even know what you want, know what you got
A puddle full of trash all fighting for,
Everything you've ever dreamed and more,
I'm gonna be so huge one day you'll see,
This waiting job is only temporary
Yell it on the roof,
Stop and smell the marigolds
Yell it on the roof,
Let's all move to Hollywood.
Fuck you, you want some fuck-faced shit?
You stupid motherfucker, why don't you eat a dick?
You can't handle this, because I'm ready to die,
Go to Hollywood get hella high.
With a bunch of bitches with my nuts in they mouth,
Rollin down the I-5 goin' south.
Makin' records, you can't fuck with that.
In Los Angeles where the fuckin' beats be phat
And the girls be fine,
They fuckin' blow your mind.
And the cush be kind,
The music makes you press rewind.
It's about time, I'm ready to go,
Pull the fuck up and rock this show.
Yell it on the roof,
Stop and smell the marigolds
Yell it on the roof,
Let's all move to Hollywood
A puddle full of trash all fighting for,
Everything you've ever dreamed and more
I'm gonna be so huge one day you'll see,
This waiting job is only temporary
Yell it on the roof,
Stop and smell the marigolds
Yell it on the roof,
I've got a picture in my head
In my head
It's me and you we are in bed
We are in bed
You've always been there when I called
When I called
You've always been there most of all, all, all, all
(chorus)
This is not Hollywood
Like I understood
Is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
Get away, get away,
Is there anybody there?
Get away, get away,
Is there anybody there?
get away, get away, get away, away....
I've got a picture in my room
In my room
I will return there I presume
It will be soon
The greatest irony of all
Should do all
It's not so glamorous at all, all, all
(repeat chorus)
I blame you Hollywood,
for showing me things you never should
show a young girl,
In a cruel world.
Because life's not a happy ending,
I'm sure there is some,
like Johnny and June,
and maybe other people too.
They all would have been killed
in the sound of music,
they would have found out that
Pinocchio could never tell the truth.
She never would have made it to shore,
the little mermaid. He would have married a whore
from a wealthy family, after all he was royalty.
Cinderella would have scrubbed those floors
till her hands grew old and tired,
and nobody would look away,
that's the way it goes today.
I blame you Hollywood,
for showing me things you never should
show a young girl,
In this cruel world.
Because life's not a happy ending,
I'm sure there is some
like Johnny and June,
and maybe other people too.
And maybe other people too [x5]

There she is on a lifeboat
There she is setting sail
There she is in someone else's dreams
There she is looking beautiful
There she is again
There she is in a mountain stream
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
There she is in the kitchen
There she is out at sea
There she is enveloping me
She said she's just a mirror
Said she leads the way
Babble on and dooming me today
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
The sun it sighs
Wave upon wave
In the grass and dew
I dance
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood
And in winter we shall ride
In a pink carriage with blue cushions
Kiss ran down your neck like a little spider
We will find it
Things are so different here
all truths seem to dissapear
and who you were doesn't matter
my point is a better view
make me look beautiful
and every face same old story
CHORUS
In hollywood , hollywood
every sunrise you get so close
every sunset an overdose
no one cares but everybody knows
bask in someone else's fame
live off of the family name
and who you are is all that matters
its so hard being young today
dior ads and pink cocaine
you'll go far for doing nothing
In hollywood, hollywood
every sunrise you get so close
every sunset an overdose
no one cares but everybody knows
everybody wants to be someone
everybody wants to be someone else
and if you're down they'll hand you a shot gun
just get me out , get me out
of hollywood
hollywood
every sunrise you get so close
every sunset an overdose
no one cares but everybody knows
(Verse 1)
I ain't tryna diss you I just miss you
You wanna be a star huh
Tell me what's the issue or the interview
I'd probably read it
Write a tweet then I delete it
Or song on how you're wrong
But it won't ever get completed
I'll hear it you go n get your club on
Just because the stars come, doesn't mean you are one
I'm attracted to my old news
What happened to the old you
Remember when I told you
(Chorus)
You think your so Hollywood
Diamonds and fancy cars (Movie Stars)
Everyone thinks you're so Hollywood (Hollywood)
But they don't really know who you are
No, not like I do
Hollywood you wanna be a big star
Everyone thinks you're so Hollywood
But I'm the only one who knows who you are
You think you're so Hollywood
I know who you are
You think you're so HOllywood
I know who you are
(Verse 2)
There's no talking to you
You oh so jaded
And I bet when you're fuckin him you have to fake it
You can watch me make it
Regret all the mistakes it
Took for you to realize you're chasing famous
I see it you goin with your love gone
Just because the stars come doesn't mean you are one
I'm attracted to my old news
What happened to the old you
Remember what I told you
(Chorus)
You think you're so Hollywood
Diamonds n fancy cars (Movie Stars)
Everyone thinks you're so Hollywood (Hollywood)
But they don't really know who you are
No, not like I do
Hollywood you wanna be a big star
Everyone thinks you're so Hollywood
But I'm the only one who knows you really are
You think you're so Hollywood
I know who you are
You think you're so Hollywood
I know who you are
(Bridge)
I know who you are(2x)
(Chorus)
You think you're so Hollywood
Diamonds n fancy cars
Everyone thinks you're so Hollywood
But they don't really know who you are
No, not like I do
Hollywood you wanna be a big star
Everyone thinks you're so Hollywood
But I'm the only one who knows you really are
You think you're so Hollywood

You think you're so Hollywood

I remember
Not too long ago
I went to a theatre
And I saw the Kool and The Gang show
I always wanted
To fit into a band
To sing my songs
And become a bad piano playing man
So here I am
In this Hollywood city
The city of the stars
Movies, women and cars
Well I guess I
I guess I
Star
Hey, hey, hey
What ya got to say
Hey, hey, hey

A girl and a boy, are so in love.
She€™s going to Hollywood.
And I€™ll wait for you back home.
De donde vengo no hay mal,
Todos! estamos listos pa rolar
Mi barrio bien de salud
Todos! people Hollywood(x2)
Dicen que feria es el modo de las calles
Yo medio vengo
Nada pega y sube mas que el ritmo de las naves.
Meneando todo
Verveando con la raza
Las jainas en la esquina
Ven y gritan que te pasa!?
Cuando tomo no hay pena, neta
Con los camaradas he jalado viejas por docenas,
Cada minuto lo gozamos,
Donde vamos?
Quien sabe, pero lentamente navegamos
Vamos haciendolo medio locos,
Gotas para los ojos por si se me ponen rojos;
La policia, alguien vaya viendo,
Las botellas vacias
Van debajo de el aciento.
Sin rumbo fijo mi ciudad es la que quiero,
Parando en cada tienda hasta vernos sin dinero;
Con el jeres, el trago que me llega,
Y el humo de mi amigo con la hierba de la buena.
La manera de mi barrio, ponle,
Quiza nunca te llegue
Pero este es mi mero mole;
Por nada cambio mi costumbre aunque me cueste,
Que aqui representando las maneras de el oeste.
De donde vengo no hay mal,
Todos! estamos listos pa rolar
Mi barrio bien de salud
Todos! people Hollywood(x2)
Viendo un cigarro y mi codo a la ventana
Mis compas fuman mariguana;
Con una fria en el regaso,
El cadillac que tiene esta padrazo
Se me hace que andan buscando madrazos;
Traviesa por las calles bajo sentado en cuero
A key le gusta limpiar los 22 primeros,
Vamos a parara a hablar con las hermanas de mi x,
Las nalgas se les mueven bien sexi.
4 en la nave y se siente muy bien,
Cuando me avientan besos tambien;
Las ago que se mojen como gotas,
Despues que les hablo
Les hago que se quiten hasta las botas;
Continuamos al hotel,
Cualquiera que le atine,
Hacemos que la cama rechine,
Y a llevarla a su casa a seguir con otra cosa,
En vez de juntarme con tramposas.
Arriba todos hay que gritar! arriba todos hay
Que rolar!(2 veses)
De donde vengo no hay mal,
Todos! estamos listos pa rolar
Mi barrio bien de salud
Todos! people Hollywood(x2)
Es simplemente otro dia en mi barrio,
Donde las cosas nunca cambian,
Pero siempre suben a lo diario;
Los domingos tempranito en la maana
Si no pisteo la cruda no sirve de nada;
Este compa no esta pa andar cuerdo,
No quiero ser la causa de daarme mi cerebro
O peormente olvidar de donde vengo,
Para mi gente detengo
Con cada trago que llevo dentro.
Represento de'onde soy y de'onde soy entiendo,
Y a las viejas yo detengo,
Dicen que las calles son malas y ponen mal ejemplo
Pero aqui estoy todavia yo viviendo.
Respeto de'onde soy y de'onde todos estan,
Camaradas casi nunca se me van,
Cuando salgo a la calle traigo anticipacion
Y vamos a gritar la cancin.
De donde vengo no hay mal,
Todos! estamos listos pa rolar
Mi barrio bien de salud

He's on his way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's bussing into Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's hopping into Hollywood
He's waited at bus stops, all his life
He's been in and out of lost places
Seen eyes that spoke to him
From sad and empty place
He's on his way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's bussing into Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's hopping into Hollywood
You know he's gonna be
Dressed to kill
He's gonna find some brand new thrill
What ever it is he's looking for
You better tell him that there's so much more
In Hollywood, Hollywood
He's on his way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's bussing into Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's hopping into Hollywood
Painted faces
Sunburned skin
Mixed expressions
Smile whore thin
Caught in the blink of Hollywood
And in battle of maneuvering skin
False expressions, washed out dreams
Everybody makes believe, in Hollywood
He's on his way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's bussing into Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back to the age of innocence
I wanna go back then
Take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
When clockwork fixed by lights and books
When singers wrote songs instead of hooks
When the value wasn't in the price
When the fight for life was in the civil rights
When we could live life through a screen
When everything you knew was as good as it seems
When the only worry was the concept of sin
When did it begin?
I wonder if I could,
Go back to old Hollywood
When presidents dropped blonde bombshells
Instead of creating the perfect hell
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back to the age of innocence
I wanna go back then
Take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
When pharmaceuticals were there to make life beautiful
When the way that we were born was more than suitable
When everybody thought they could make a difference
And you couldn't get your pics within an instance
I wonder if I could,
Go back to old Hollywood
When presidents dropped blonde bombshells
Instead of creating the perfect hell
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back to the age of innocence
I wanna go back then
Take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
I wanna get older, don't fight my age
Take me back to those simpler days
I wonder how it all happened
I wanna get older, don't fight my age
Don't wanna be the shade of a scalpel's blade
So please tell me, please tell me
What ever happened? Happened?
I wonder if I could,
Go back to old Hollywood
When presidents dropped blonde bombshells
Instead of creating their lives to hell
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back, take me back
To the age of innocence
I wanna go back then
Take me back, take me back
To the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
I wanna get older, don't fight my age
Take me back to those simpler days
I wonder how it all happened
I wanna get older, don't fight my age
Don't wanna be the page on the scalpel's blade
So please tell me, please tell me
What ever happened?

What? Uh oh, she wants to live in Hollywood ? (3x)
Let me tell you
A little story about the girl I know
Ain’t got no talent
But always trying to get the leading role
She’s aiming high (She’s aiming high)
International names (Way to go!)

To reach for glory and fame, a-whoa a-whoa!
What? Uh oh, she wants to live in Hollywood
And mingle with the stars, a-whoa a-whoa!
What? Uh oh, she’s living in a fantasy
Champagne and fancy cars, a-whoa a-whoa!
She dreams of Hollywood!
She dreams of Hollywood!
She’s taking classes
Watching movies to learn herself to act
But the truth is
A waste of money and that’s the simple fact
Still lives at home (Still lives at home)
Cause she’s “daddy’s girl” (Way to go!)
The race goes on (The race goes on)
Of getting diamonds and pearls, a-whoa a-whoa!
What? Uh oh she wants to live in Hollywood
And mingle with the stars, a-whoa a-whoa!
What? Uh oh, she’s living in a fantasy
Champagne and fancy cars, a-whoa a-whoa!

Dream of Hollywood (And I know it’s true)
Dream of Hollywood (It’s all she can do)
Dream of Hollywood (And I know it’s true)

Champagne and fancy cars, a-whoa a-whoa!

That just stand and stare
Don't you know that I feel so good
Don't you know that I feel alright
In Hollywood
Hollywood
Well we're staying at Le Parc
Or the Tropicana hotel
Well we're playing after dark

Have you heard about Bad air

where the cream of the crop make good
down on the hallowed halls
of all that tinsel and lauren bacall
there's dreams hidden in the vaults
and they went to hollywood
i wouldn't have stopped them if i could
I've been losing time
I can't even feel my own emotions
I need to feel alive
Girls talk to me like this at the Whiskey Bar
It's happening
Oh my god
It's happening
Hollywood understands
It's who do you know
And what do you care about it
All I need is a plan
I'll kick it around until I find my motivation
I've paid my fine
I bought a stupid script about a singer
But still I try
Yeah, I'll meet you down at the Whiskey Bar
It's happening
Oh my god
It's happening
Hollywood understands
It's who do you know
And what do you care about it
All I need is a plan
Hollywoooood !

Since I was a little kitten I had a dream
My name in lights:
"Danny the Song and Dance Cat"
Got on a bus and came to the town where dreams can come true
It's gonna happen for me
It can happen for you
[Pudge]
Who me?
[Danny]
You can do anything if you try
The most impossible dreams can come true
If you believe it!
This is my kinda town
It's as clear as the nose on your face!
This is the time!
This is the place!
This is the time!
This must be the place!
Hollywood!
Where the streets are paved with gold!
Where the kitties never grow old!
In Hollywood!
Hollywood!
Where the stars don't shine at night!
They walk around in the broad daylight
In Hollywood!
Dig that face

Where the streets are paved with gold!
Where dreams can never grow old!

Hey, well this could be cool
'Cause we could be together but nothing lasts forever
Me, I'll be your fool
Pick you up when you fall down
And move across the dance floor
Let me buy you a drink or two
And you could be my star for weekends
Do you like your Hollywood?
As far as I'm concerned, these lesson's been learned
At least that's what I understood
That's right
Hey, tell your daddy not to wait up
You're not coming home, you're all mine
And that's fine, I'll keep you by my side
Oh, a few work all our lies
And move across the dance floor
Let me buy you a drink or two
And you could be my star for weekends
Do you like your Hollywood?
As far as I'm concerned, these lesson's been learned
At least that's what I understood
Come on
Writing a letter that you not come back
These days ain't been good, but then these days ain't so bad
Sooner or later when you come around
You've got these problems, then I'll write you down
Let me be a star for weekends
Do you like your Hollywood?
As far as I'm concerned, these lesson's been learned
At least that's what I understood
Let me be a star for weekends
Do you like your Hollywood?
As far as I'm concerned, these lesson's been learned
Mama, sit down for me please

Your one and only son has got to get away
Before this ghetto life becomes the death of me
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
I'm going to do good in Hollywood
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
I'm going to do good in Hollywood
Hollywood
You have always taught me right from wrong
You always told me I could sing myself a song

Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
I'm going to do good in Hollywood
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa

Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
I'm going to do good in Hollywood
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa

I've been looking to the stars for light
Mom, I've been thinking about it
You know, I've been thinking about it all my life, all
my life
And I've been hoping, I've been hoping
One day I might go to Hollywood, to Hollywood
Where the singers, and the movie stars, and the people,
living mountains
And the sun shines all the time
Ain't nothing much, and I got to keep on
Keep on, keep on, you're gonna make it good in
Hollywood
Keep on, keep on, you're gonna make it good in
Hollywood
Keep on, keep on, you're gonna make it good in

I'm moving to Hollywood

I think I'm gonna move to Hollywood
Cause you know that's the place if you're gonna make it
Ten million people they're all deep in love
With themselves to get to go stepping on everyone else
Everyone looks so happy on TV
I hope that they can do the same for me
I'm moving to Hollywood...Hollywood
I'm moving to Hollywood...Hollywood
Everyone will bore me, Everyone will like me
I'm moving to Hollywood
I'll sell my soul and by a cell phone
With the very best plan
So that I can call everyone I know
Go out to parties and meet all the right people
An then I'll brag about how I know way more people than them
So would you like to have my business card
If you don't know me then you won't get far
I'm moving to Hollywood...Hollywood
I'm moving to Hollywood...Hollywood
Everyone will bore me, Everyone will like me
I'm moving to Hollywood
When you're in Hollywood, You live forever
Until you get replaced with something better
When you're in Hollywood, Your dreams become true
Canned laughter rings out as your dreams forget you
In Hollywood it's just the way it goes
And it don't matter what you do but who you know
The leeches driving in their German cars
While the nice girls test it in bars trying to become stars
Record some tracks and try to put an album out
Can't really sing but they can fix that now
I'm moving to Hollywood...Hollywood
I'm moving to Hollywood...Hollywood
Everyone will bore me
Everyone will like me
I'm moving to Hollywood
I'm moving to Hollywood...Hollywood
I'm moving to Hollywood...Hollywood
Everyone will bore me
Everyone will love me
I'm moving to Hollywood
I'm moving to Hollywood...Hollywood
I'm moving to Hollywood...Hollywood
Everyone will bore me
Everyone will love me
I'm moving to Hollywood
I'm moving to Hollywood...
Hollywood, Hollywood
Well I guess I love Hollywood
Where the streets are made of dreams
I came back with no more money
Just a craving for the scene
Momma, momma says, "Oh Child
You're playing with a fool's gold
Listen to your momma baby
And do what you is told"
Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood
And it gets so hot you can see 'em dropping
Hollywood, it ain't never stop
I love some of that Hollywood
Where the sky ain't never rain
Nothing's helping me now dear mommy
I need me some of that fame
Momma, momma says, "Oh child
You better get out and quick, yeah."
Not listening to you momma
I'll do what I see fit
Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood
And it gets so hot you can see 'em dropping
Hollywood, it ain't never stop
Hear my story of Hollywood
It's the saddest tale I know
'Bout a girl who still walks the streets
Screaming, "God help me find my soul!"
Father, father says, "Oh, child
Look what you have done
Told you once and I told you twice
Now you're paying with your own blood"
Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood
And it gets so hot you can see 'em dropping
Hollywood, it ain't never stop
Kill the lights
we're loosing time
We wont win this fight
Until our hears collide
We're either running away from nothing fast
Falling down until we finally clash
My god, Oh my god
Can you help me feel anything
I'm lost in a city of vultures, mobs and pigs
Eating away at every thing
Sometimes I wish I was never born
In Hollywood I get so scared
I don't know how to walk
I'm always running unprepared
I'm losing my hope
Sell my self for an hour of fame
I know it's a shame
But I don't care
'Cause You forget who you are when you come to Hollywood
This party never seems to end
And the drugs that kill all of his friends
Keep showing up and acting out
Even though we though we threw them out
Hello, hello hospital
Look up to the sky its time to go
I wanna be buried by your side
Underneath a tree that hard to find
Sometimes I wish I was never born
In Hollywood I get so scared
I don't know how to walk
I'm always running unprepared
I'm losing my hope
Sell my self for an hour of fame
I know it's a shame
But I don't care
'Cause You forget who you are when you come to Hollywood
I've been dreaming about a world out there thats just so beautiful
I've been thinking about a world out there thats just so beautiful
It's just so beautiful
She may be beautiful sexy from her head down to her toes
Everybody's favorite centerfold
The girl everybody wants to know
(know)
And what I didn't see
Was her secret identity
What she was doing behind the scenes
All the dirty lies and filthy schemes, yea
You don't you don't even know
(even know)
How long how long she would go
(she would go)
To be the star of her show
And I don't know
Know why I trusted you
She took control of me
(took control of me)
So hard I couldn't see
(couldn't see)
Played like monopoly
Things that she cant undo
All that she was untrue
That girl I thought I knew
Never expect it babe
But Hollywood set me up
(she set me up)
She set me up
(she set me up)
She set me up
(Hollywood set me up)
She set me up , oh
(and I don't know why but)
Hollywood set me up
Girl is sitting next to me, and she
Asken can she leave with me
I'm like cant be coming on to me
My girl is at home waiting on me
Whispers in my ear and she's like
Baby can we disappear tonight
Kisses me into the rhyme
Girl is starring me right in my eyes
You don't you don't even know
(even know)
How long how long she would go
(she would go)
To be the star of her show
And I don't even know
Know why I trusted you
She took control of me
So hard a couldn't see
(so hard I cant see)
Played like monopoly
Things that she cant undo
All that she was untrue
(untrue)
That girl I thought I knew
(thought I knew)
Never expect it babe
But Hollywood set me up
She set me up
(she set me up)
She set me up
(Hollywood set me up)
She set me up, (ahh) oh
(and I don't know why but)
Hollywood set me up
She set me up
(she set me up)
She set me up
(Hollywood set me up)
She set me up, (ahh) oh
(and I don't know why but)
Hollywood set me up
Spot lights
Left right
Going to her head
Closen the curtain
Your show is over
No more
(no more)
Take your act and leave
Don't know why I trusted you
(don't know why)
She took control of me
(don't know why)
So hard I couldn't see
(couldn't see)
Played like monopoly
(play me)
Things that she cant undo
(cant undo, cant undo)
All that she was untrue
(was untrue, was untrue)
That girl I thought I knew, oh
Never expect it babe,
But Hollywood set me up
Hollywood set me up
Hollywood set me up
Said I shouldn't have trusted her
Oh, I don't know why but Hollywood set me up
Said I shouldn't have trusted her
I hope you're happy out in glitter gulch
With your brand new friends
Who will shake you off like a dog
When they're bored with you
I'm not bitter, just a little sad
To be taken in by a smile
That swallows everything in its path
Then spits it right back out again
Hollywood whispered your name
And called you a genius
Hope you're happy with your
Flame throwing tongue that burns your face
But pleases the crowd as they gather round
And pay to watch you burn
Hollywood, whispered your name
And called you a genius and you believed us
Show me something that you think is real
Show me something that you still feel
Show me someone you didn't leave behind
When you lost yourself on the way to Hollywood
I hope you're happy in this hole you've dug
Where the sun spins around you and only you
Don't you get a little scared sometimes that standing
In all that light might show you for what you really are?
Hollywood, tell me who's going to save you?
I will not stand in line just to praise you
I will not stick around to watch you go down
One more lost genius
Hollywood one, me zero, Hollywood won, I lost
Hollywood won, I lost you, Hollywood won, Hollywood one
I got someone on the left of my left side
i got cigarette on cigarette mindful
i got foolish so i took him on home i said ooo oo
you don't need me don't tell me you want me
i i'm over it
you can't have it and that's why you want it
i i'm over it
baby if you and me aren't trying
i can't see the point
come on come on
baby if you and me aren't trying
i can't see the point
come on come on
i got exorcist on my morning station
a foolish mind giving me my own halo
i am tempted into your living room
i said ooo ooo oo
you don't need me don't tell me you want me
i i'm over it
you can't have it and that's why you want it
i i'm over it
baby if you and me aren't trying
i can't see the point
come on come on
baby if you and me aren't trying
i can't see the point
come on come on
Coz you and me are holdin'
you and me are holding on
but if time alone, aches and bruises this heart of mine
I will place my weary head and sleep alone
baby if you and me aren't trying
i can't see the point
come on come on
baby if you and me aren't trying
i can't see the point
come on come on
Tell me, would you be alright?
Tell me, do you sleep well at night?
Tell me ‘bout your trip to Hollywood, trip to Hollywood.
Tell me, did you go far?
Tell me, did you make it as a movie star?
Did you see your name in marquee, your name in marquee light?
Was it worth all those tears that you had to cry?
And you just lost all your ground when you said goodbye…
Then you lose yourself and come back home;
The ones you loved, well, they’ve already flown.
You couldn’t see the ground from where you are.
Was it worth all your pain, little movie star?
Well, tell me was it worth the search for your lights?
Tell me, was it worth all the tears you cried?
You know it broke your mama’s heart when you said goodbye.
I saw you just the other day, and when I asked you about LA…
You said some things that hurt me more than just on my arms
And through the pain and the shakes and the teardrops that took you far…
You just lost all your ground from who you are.
Then you lose yourself and come back home.
The ones you loved, well, they’ve already flown.
You couldn’t see the ground from where you are.
Hey you lose yourself; you’ve lost your way.
You’re not the first to get high in LA.
You couldn’t see the ground from where you are
And was it worth all your pain little movie star?
You just lost all your ground, little movie….
Tell me, would you be alright?
Tell me, would you be alright?
Tell me, do you sleep well at night?
You'll find the fame
If you leave what's behind you
How you gonna be
How you gonna feel
When you're in Hollywood
Lights, camera, action
How you're gonna play
What you're gonna say
When you're in Hollywood
If you don't know
You won't know
Things will awake you
Hollywood mon amour .
Hollywood Hollywood
Don't be afraid
You can have all you
Always dreamed of
If you only say
What you gotta say
When you're in Hollywood
Remembered forever
Your name in the walk of fame
If you only say
What you gotta say
When you're in Hollywood
If you don't know
You won't know
Things will awake you
Hollywood mon amour .
Hollywood Hollywood
Are you ready to shine?
Can you handle the light?
Don't be scared of the height
You can fly ...
Hollywood mon amour .
Damn, Hollywood, land of how you do's
Movie stars, take two's, lights, camera
Where's my leadin' lady?
Out here in Hollywood you see so many games
Characters with so many names and faces
Counterfeit to the core, the bullshit they believe
I get a migraine tryin' to decipher who's who
When the life of the trife [Incomprehensible]
Who can you believe?
May be my folks Craine and Dean
What you wearin', how many carats?
What you drivin', don't worry about what I'm in
What you makin', nigga, what's the price on you?
Look at your chain, call that ice, homie?
You ain't gangsta, my clothes ain't tight on me
You where nut huggers and drink Christian Brothers with fake ID
A fraud ain't shit to me, a skinny broad is a bitch to me
Get a little fame and change up, fake gangsta
Hollywood made up bitch niggers, straight up
And them black born and stuck, fucked
It's hard to breathe with no love, no freight touch
I make hits daily, need a few? I got 'em
I coulda loaned you one or two
But Aftermath bought 'em, ironic ain't it?
I'm the CEO, judge, jury and the plaintiff
Sayin' fuck
Hollywood
Who are you, what you'll say you'll do
And why you let them get the best of you?
Hollywood
I know you call it V.I.P.
But let me tell you what it means to me
It's Hollywood
Somebody tossed you some game
With some fame and you burned your back
Motherfucker, how lame is that
Even arranged for you pains to exist and beyond the map
Oh high as a diddy ass bugie niggas, actin' like video bitches
You ain't pimpin', you switchin' and Hollywierd livin', bullshittin'
Got no time for time for that
Cut, print, check the gate, that's a wrap
And if one more rude Hollywood bugie bitch steps to me
High steppin' like she better than me
I'ma put it to her direct one and correctly, like this
See, if you knows when too damn hard to see
That a real girl cut bitches all the way to [Incomprehensible]
(Hey, are you a model, actress?)
Save your drama for the movies
That role you play, is it the life you live?
Are you one hundred percent positive
Or did you just forget when you got here?
To this place of the misguided, them niggers tryin' to blend in
Hollywood
Who are you, what you'll say you'll do
And why you let it get the best of you?
Hollywood
I get you call it V.I.P.
But let me tell you what it means to me
It's Hollywood
Yeah, but the Truth Hurts
Hollywood, I don't agree
Well what you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
Well what you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
What you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
What you want me to be
Where is the money, honey?
I swear I've asked that question a thousand times
They use ya, rip through your soul
While they funk with your mind anxious
For the fame that you dream all about, fool ya
Fame is gone ain't no one to be found
Hollywood, I don't agree
Well what you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
Well what you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
What you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
What you want me to be
Like a cheating man's mission
They take you out commission
Suck you dry and then move onto the next
Fill your head with stardom promises
Make their money then they leave you for dead
Still believing the ones who are deceiving
Got ya starvin' while they already ate
Sign your life on the dotted line
'Stead of giving all the money they make
Hollywood, I don't agree
Well what you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
Well what you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
What you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
What you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
What you want me to be
Hollywood, I don't agree
What you want me to be
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood just, it's a place for me
Hollywood just, it's a place for me
Hollywood just, it's a place for me
Get this table off my back
And let me teach you how to clap
We'll sketch out all our dreams
And write down our elaborate schemes
We could clone ourselves
Despite what they might say
Put them up on an immortal shelf and save them for a rainy day
Come on come on
Let's hear that laugh before I make a sound again
Invest yourself in one more trance
It's an uncomplicated jest
That locks you in with all the rest
It strangles all the mood
But it keeps you here subdued
We could sneak out the back way
Though it looks just like the entrace
Yes, it's important what they say
They all stay put with a vengeance
(Chorus)
Come on come on
Let's hear that laugh before I make a sound again
Invest yourself in one more trance
Darling, it's on it's on
It's always on
I know that's what you've found, my friend
Subject yourself to this new true Hollywood romance
Well you look like Greta Garbo
With a 1960s shag
Well I look like Katrina Neilds
All dressed up in drag
You're so daring so dashing
Your skin's the shiniest star
It's so brilliantly smashing
When I sing:
La lala la la la lala
(Chorus)
Come on come on
Come on
Come on come on
She packed her bags one moonlit night
Bought a ticket on a mystery flight
To a heaven where dreamers dream
To a hell where losers weep
She's gone to Hollywood
Bright yellow letter shine way up high
Sweet sixteen she's got stars in her eyes
Will she ride in a chauffeur driven car
Or will she die of a broken heart
She's gone to Hollywood, oh Hollywood
Hi ya, mama, how are ya dad
Been thinkin' 'bout ya please don't be sad
You'll never guess where I'm calling from
I'll be a star before too long
Cuz I'm in Hollywood, oh Hollywood
Oh it feels so good to be a star in Hollywood
Long distance ringing in the middle of the night
Sayin' somethin' 'bout a suicide
Missing Persons calling from the coast
Your daughter's dead from an overdose
Who and what is home when you live on the road?
Who and what can you call your own?
What is life? What does it mean?
When greed leads us to take when we don't need?
We live alone surrounded by people
Stuck in our houses fenced in and fit
Why can't I love you the way that I want to?
Can't love look different than Hollywood?
Can't love look different than Hollywood?
Why do we all wear this sad face?
Why can't we live in our own chosen place?
Why can't we open like light on a hill?
Why do we fight and fear our free will?
I'll wear a color if you change your shade
Then we'll be different and all look the same
I'll talk with new words if you change your prayer
Then we'll find heaven and not know we're there
It's okay, it's alright
It's okay, it's alright
All alone, summer night
With words you said to me
Our lives lead other lives
When all our senses are revealed
It's okay it's alright
It's okay, it's alright
In Hollywood, the rivers fly
In Hollywood, the sky's alive
In Hollywood, your fears come out to play
What have you become, a fool in love
Around and around a million ways to get there
And we don't care, who would believe
And all those things we said that night
It's okay, it's alright
It's okay, it's alright
In Hollywood, the rivers fly
In Hollywood, the sky's alive
In Hollywood, your fears come out to play
Hollywood
I love
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
In Hollywood, your fears come out to play
In Hollywood, the rivers fly
In Hollywood, the sky's alive
Can't you see, streets they laugh with sparkled eyes
Can't you see, perfect dreams turned shattered lives
they fall by the wayside
And a tear, sells their fear
And we cry, I'll tell you why
'Cause we feel their spirits breaking and they don't
know who they are
Yeah we see their youth is fading, cause the end is not
too far
Hollywood
Can't you see, angels stealing just to stay alive
Can't you see, full of bright lit candles burning out
they fall by the wayside
Feel their spirits breaking, and they don't know who
they are
Yeah we see their youth is fading, cause the end is not
too far
Yeah we feel their spirits breaking, and they don't
know who they are
Yeah we see their youth is fading, cause the end is not
too far
Hollywood
And a tear, sells their fear
And we cry, I'll tell you why
'Cause we feel their spirits breaking and they don't
know who they are
Yeah we see their youth is fading, cause the end is not
too far
We feel their spirits breaking and they don't know who
they are
Yeah we see their youth is fading, cause the end is not
too far

fancy cars some people riding
Don't get overwhelmed

She's on her way, about to get paid

He's on his way, about to get paid
but never turning Hollywood
[Neb Love]
I used to be that way, but now I'm like this
you betta miss me with that shit or catch a mighty blow to lip
cheeks
beware I'm here, hooray for N-E-B, no thats not me,
oh, cuz I'm in the Cherokee, cruisin with Warren G
goin to pick up Jah Skill and the Twinz
Five footin till the end of my life, for real
ya didn't know the sista but she had a record deal
they wanna see you at the top, then they wanna see you drop
then they wanna call the cops, ring hello?
wake up, once yo ass go Hollywood ya ass is like fuck
(ya ass is like fuck)
a young buck Knee-Hi told me that Neb changed
but if I'm on the wrong track put me in the right place
[Wayniac]
I'm just the same muthafucka, who kicked them nuts back in the day
this is how it is when the niggaz gettin paid
you used to treat me different now that you know where I stand
but back up in the days you didn't really give a damn
I had my own thing, me and the homeys from the PAC
we watch each other's back tryin to get our pockets fat
but now its new niggaz poppin all up in our face
from 88 to 93 I couldn't find a trace
I keeped on shit on data just reviewin all the facts
in my mind I designed how to switch and counteract
cuz ain't no Holly and me if it is its gettin stuck
I'm strictly for my paper as these groupies ride my nuts
[Chorus x2]
[Jah Skills]
What, you can't speak, because I reached my peak,
why dont you, go bout your business let your mind tweak,
but see ain't nuthin changed on my behalf still got my mics and
stashed
niggaz is siamese two faced and they switch it fast
cuz Hollywood can't do nuthin for me but hang me like drapes
distribute my phat tapes and in my pocket put some papes
[Trip Locc]
and ain't nuthin in Hollywood that could make me wanna switch
could he please, you know whats up with me so Holly these
I'm from the G side, flip flop if you want to
banned by yo hood and yo city shoulda stayed true
but ya didn't fell victim to the limelight
never gettin faded cuz the Locc was just to trump tight
[Jah Skills]
you must be dazed
ya goin through some type of phase
behind my back you jaw jack but in my house you wanna blaze
[Wayniac & Jah Skills]
so thanks for smokin the click out an shit
all upon her clit
(and all upon his dick)
it makes me sick, but we dont even trip cuz its the G-Funk
(rail two rules like tree trunks)
now feel the brew that we funk
(steady on a mission underground that is the sound)
dont ever get it twisted when the real ones put it down
How can it be that I could be lost again?
Here in a town of yesterday's desperate men
All dressed up to go for the final scene
Here comes the dread they fed me in last night's dream
She's got too much class for the likes of me
I'll stay but don't make me nervous
Lost in the haze of yesterdays memory
Don't think that you don't deserve us
Crying all the way to the bank on the bullet train
But crying don't get you nowhere
I must be the only man that they couldn't frame
I couldn't see the enemy till he was close behind
Waltzing blind, through my mind
And if the lights should freeze oh please
Don't make it him or me
Then we'll see
This city is a monument to bad taste in vain
Hooray for hollywood break, out the search lights above
But I couldn't tear myself away, so I can't complain
Send out the substitutes, tonight we'll be makin' love
Crawling in deaf and dumb for the losers ball
Here's to the house on the hill and the thrill of it
Sinking in a tidal wave of alcohol
How could I miss it's come to this Hollywood final
scene
Make it clean
And if the lights should freeze oh please
Don't make it him or me
Then we'll see
Look out below this heart will blow Hollywood style
tonight
She grew up reading every magazine
Of rags to riches worlds
She lost her heart to do
The American dream of Hollywood
She used to dream about love
Her youth was lived out like on a stage
She left the boring world she knew at home
And made her star struck way
But something there
Was lost along the road to Hollywood
She used to dream about love
Her youth was lived out like on a stage
But these days she hits the strip tonight
All the names in lights and the games to play
She speeds around and drives uptown
And pulls out all the stops, she'll hit the top someday
Loves New York and California nights
And the glamor life of the celluloid stage
She takes advantage of her long blonde hair
Lord I know it's so damn true
We used to sit and talk she'd hold my hand
She'd hold my hand
She used to love me
I used to love her gentle ways
But these days she hits the strip at night
All the names in lights, and the games to play
She speeds around and drives uptown
And pulls out all the stops
She'll hit the top someday, someday
She's got the face and the lips and the legs
That fit mid-America's apple pie ways
Sells herself to the producer's couch
Feeling down and out on the streets of L.A.
And while she's down she's fun to walk on
Until she's dead, they all wonder why
The applause is not for her but for the silver screen
And manufactured dreams to make you cry
So come on give us one more, come on, one more time
Before the hitting the bars on the boulevard
And never fear everyone's a star in Hollywood
She used to dream about love

Guitars and violent movies
Guitars and violent movies
Guitars and violent movies
Street signs to your desire.
Guitars and violent movies
See the boy on the corner,
He's only twelve years old.
Every night he's out there doin' his best,
To get his goodies sold.
Cause he's gotta feed his momma,
Gotta beat off a couple a dads.
They just come around,
When they feel like bangin' in the bag, yea...
(chorus)
Aww, that's life,
In Hollywood.
Where what's bad,
Just seemed to be good.
That's life,
In Hollywood.
I love the place,
Am I misunderstood?
Livin' in a junkyard,
Livin' like a couple a thieves.
Well I can't go to my homeboys place,
Cause I got no gasoline.
But if you say you're buyin',
Then I'll have another round.
And if you've got the money honey,
Well I'll drink you down, yea...
(chorus)
(solo)
Got shootings down the freeway,
Shootings down my street.
Fine lookin' lady on the corner says,
"Hey boy, I'll sell you a treat".
Well that's my lovely city,
That's my neighborhood.
I live like I want to,
Not like I should, yea...
Yea...yea...yea...

He's on his way
He's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way
He's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood

Painted faces, sunburnt skin
Fixed expressions, smiles worn thin
Caught in the blink of neon of Hollywood
Bending battles, maneuvering schemes
False expressions, washed up dreams
Everybody makes believe
In Hollywood, Hollywood

Did you ever see a movie
Where Erroll Flynn played Robin Hood
Where Gary Cooper played a heroe
And where Jane Mansfield was all nude.
Did you ever see a movie
Where Shirley Temple played a child
Where Rock Hudson played a lover
And where James Dean got really wild.
Good old HolIywood is dying
Good old HolIywood is crying
Good old HolIywood ist dead.
Did you ever see a movie
Where Gene Kelly danced so bright
Where Judy Garland sang a lovesong
Where Humphrey Bogard lost a fight.
In a world of plastic pieces everything seems all right til we get under our skin
you find everyones manufactured to your liking just how you ordered us
Now were fighting back take off your plastic wrap and look under the skin
you keep digging your own grave over and over kill me over again
PLASTIC!
Escaping from this plastic world

Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good
Chorus:
Shine your light now
This time it's gotta be good
You get it right now
'Cause you're in Hollywood
There's something in the air in Hollywood
The sun is shining like you knew it would
You're ridin' in your car in Hollywood
You got the top down and it feels so good
I lost my memory in Hollywood
I've had a million visions, bad and good
There's something in the air in Hollywood
I tried to leave it but I never could
(chorus)
There's something in the air in Hollywood
I've lost my reputation, bad and good
You're ridin' in your car in Hollywood
You got the top down and it feels so good
Music stations always play the same songs
I'm bored with the concept of right and wrong
Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good
(chorus)
'Cause you're in Hollywood
'Cause you're in Hollywood
In Hollywood (repeat three times)
Check it out, this bird has flown
(chorus)
'Cause you're in Hollywood
'Cause you're in Hollywood
In Hollywood (repeat three times)
Push the button
Don't push the button
Trip the station
Change the channel
(repeat twice)
When you were young and without care
You watch your hero sit down there
Do you remember that love affair
Change your rogers and brand a stare
Oh it was a long time ago
How the time flies
The memory still clings to me
Always in my mind
And most of all do you recall
Hollywood
One thousand pictures on my wall
Hollywood
And every day another star was born
In Hollywood
Hollywood
Well did you ever feel the need
Just to relive your child dreams
Of movie startum and limousines
To see yourself in a magazine
Oh it was a long time ago
How the time flies
The memory still clings to me
Always in my mind
And most of all do you recall
Hollywood
One thousand pictures on my wall
Hollywood
And every day another star was born
In Hollywood
I'm not telling you again what you need
It's just a slap around
To make everything stoW and cure the fall
When you come back down
I'm not everything you want
I'm just a tease
Maybe a matter of touch
You could tell me what you want, I'll give it to you
Maybe you think to much
Cause you're Hollywood, you never should
We never talk anymore
With your high heels on
You kill the sun, I'm not your friend anymore
I'm so sick and tired of everyone telling you what you want
I could never keep track who's gonna come
When you start waving your magic wand
And you seem to forget everything that you said
Before you had it written for you
There's too much going on that you need to belong to
It's the only thing you know how to do
Cause you're Hollywood, another world
You made it all on your own
With your high heels on
You kill the sun, I'm not your friend anymore
You went to Hollywood to make it
Hollywood, you never should
We never talk anymore
With your high heels on
You kill the sun, I'm not your friend anymore
Not your friend anymore,
Not your friend anymore,
Not your friend anymore,
Not your friend anymore,
Not your friend anymore,
I'm just a lonely boy
With fears dreams tears and joy
A mystic child
I wanna be a star
A man with all the power
Of the ultimate mind
I want to wear sunglasses and be not understood
I want to have an epitaph in Hollywood
Sometimes i don't wanna try
Sometimes i don't wanna cry
Don't grow up too, don't grow up too fast
I'm still a lonely boy
With fears dreams tears and joy
A mystic child
I wanna be a star
A man with all the power
Of the ultimate mind
I want to have a big red car a blonde girl by my side
I want to call my kids John and Marilyn
Sometimes i don't wanna try
Sometimes i don't wanna cry
[Verse 1: Numskull]
Once upon a time, steppin on the scene
a dope-related youngsta, rappin hella clean
a cool type of stance, don't trip where he's from
to make interestin it's me Nummy-Num
I lived on Ave. what no one ever had
broke wit no b-i's feelin hella sad
I lied
I stole
always hella bold
but I make no progress, never reachin no goals
my potnas they used to, smash and bash
talkin trash wit no remorse cappin on my raps
even worse than that to make me feel low
they drunk all they Hin, and smoked all the dope
and girls used to say "Num you're so cute"
"but you get's no action cuz you have no loot"
well one day walkin down Six-Duce
I seen a brother wit Shelly he's lookin hella juiced
he said "Here ye here ye, check out my thang"
"if you can rap real good and got songs you can hang"
"I already got a rapper Dru Down I'm bout to start"
"you can rap on his tape if you can rip it apart"
so I ran home and wrote a new song
the tape went platinum it didn't take hella long
got a couple of checks and I, brokes out
moved to Hollywood, now they think I sold out.
[Chorus: Luniz, Cydal & T Luni]
When you makin mo mail then they could
hatas think you goin Hollywood
Never would, Hollywood.
When you move up out the hood
hatas think you goin Hollywood.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[Verse 2: T Luni]
All right stop what ya doin
cuz I'm about to ruin
the image of the game that ya used to
I look bummy
but peeps I'm makin money see
so yo world are you ready for me
now gather 'round, I'm the new playa in town
if you got mo grip then me, then I lay you down
I drink up all the Hennessy you got on your shelf
so step aside, it's time to introduce myself
I'm T the Luni
surrounded by doobies
condoms and groupies, love me more then they do Lucchi
(you do your thang)
an all the notches in the top ten
please allow me to do it
I'm a freak, I like the girls wit the boom
I once got busy in the studio bathroom
I'm crazy
straight gangsta mack
I only stay if baby got back
I'm serious
they wanna swallow me like licorice
I never faze back, girls they too ticklish
an wouldn't ride no hoochie in the hood
they think I'm too good, rumor has it that I'm Hollywood.
[Chorus: x1]
[Verse 3: Cydal]
I can't be broke
I inhale too much bomb smoke
the game is savage, makin cabbage in the city of dope
when I'm home I'm writtin songs, an I don't stop
nobody step up, or press up, when I set up shop
I used to stand in the crowd, watch the dope fiends an wonder
man who them fools in the ice cream van
that's Nummy-Num and Yuk trick, don't you hear the music?
playas always haven't, but playa hatas use it
been out for the cash since the day I was born
til I changed it, rearranged it to a street game form
I write a rhyme, anger feedin 'em
every show you see me in
deep in M.O.B., cuz ain't no folks surviving greediness
fiends being wild, so they need to be tamed
so I keep 'em all in shackles, cuz they gotta be chained
then I'm back to the honey comb
where hustlas get they money gone
Oakland ain't no joke, we all no it ain't no funny bone
a public enemy
not even a friend of me
the Mobb, will stand beyond the click that y'all pretend to be
so don't be givin me this and that about the hood
cuz they know it's all good
I never could go Hollywood.
[Chorus: x1]
[Verse 4: Yukmouth]
I play the landlord, you be the apartment
you all know my name Smoke-A-Lot I gotta spark it
to get yo bitch started
who roll the hardest
me as the artist I gotta come out the largest
Yuk, I squat a Lexo's an Num's squattin Pala's
it ain't about who ballin cuz we all clockin dollas
that's why
I packed as an eagle
people be lookin at me smokingly roll by bomb-beagles
rap is like a kilo, of cocaine
illegal business and we in this dope game
buying so-an-so I'm a playa, I'm a mack
huh, but to me you "geek-geek" off crack
I smoke sacks wit the purple heads around from the Town
put that backyard boogie down,
you puffin wit Yuk, you know I blow greenery
you wanna be like me the Ice Creamery
if yo ass ain't know by now I hits the scenery
so cleanery, sittin on chrome eighteeneries
I smoke a beedie, a tampa to the wood
mainly what I write is for the homies in the hood

What? Uh oh, she wants to live in Hollywood ? (3x)
Let me tell you
A little story about the girl I know
Ain’t got no talent
But always trying to get the leading role
She’s aiming high (She’s aiming high)
International names (Way to go!)
Wear golden shoes (Wear golden shoes)
To reach for glory and fame, a-whoa a-whoa!
What? Uh oh, she wants to live in Hollywood
And mingle with the stars, a-whoa a-whoa!
What? Uh oh, she’s living in a fantasy
Champagne and fancy cars, a-whoa a-whoa!
She dreams of Hollywood!
She dreams of Hollywood!
She’s taking classes
Watching movies to learn herself to act
But the truth is
A waste of money and that’s the simple fact
Still lives at home (Still lives at home)
Cause she’s “daddy’s girl” (Way to go!)
The race goes on (The race goes on)
Of getting diamonds and pearls, a-whoa a-whoa!
What? Uh oh she wants to live in Hollywood
And mingle with the stars, a-whoa a-whoa!
What? Uh oh, she’s living in a fantasy
Champagne and fancy cars, a-whoa a-whoa!
Dream of Hollywood (It’s all she can do)
Dream of Hollywood (And I know it’s true)
Dream of Hollywood (It’s all she can do)
Dream of Hollywood (And I know it’s true)
What? Uh oh, she wants to live in Hollywood ? (3x)

Champagne and fancy cars, a-whoa a-whoa!
What? Uh oh, she wants to live in Hollywood
I remember when you were on the farm
Dreaming about Andy Warhol
Wo ho ho Getting felt up in the barn
Wondering if that's moral
But hey look at you now
You've got everything that a girl could want
You've got high heel slippers baby but that's all right
Hollywood
Hollywood
You shaped my life with Technicolor carving knife and
Now I don't know what to feel
All my emotions are wrapped up reel to reel
You know you turned me around stuck my face in the ground
When I sat down on Garbo's sofa
And I like some James Dean clown that you can make laugh
or frown - I just want to know when it's over
But hey look at me now you know just can't find nothing real
And the movies are all outside baby but that's all right
Hollywood
Hollywood
You gave me the best I got this
Soundtrack of violence and sex
Now I don't know who to be
Cause every time I look in the
mirror I see some movie star
You know it just doesn't look
like me
And us rebel's got too many causes
But that's all right
And I can't find a happy ending
But that's all right
And like Jimi said 'There just ain't no life nowhere"
But that's all right
Small town, southern California
Pretty people but I gotta warn ya
They're country as it gets
Divorce - everybody's cheatin'
Rehab - everybody's drinkin'
Welcome to the Wild Wild West
They call it Hollywood
It's not far from Dollywood
Just small towns with a different name
Dysfunctions, dysfunction
No matter what state you come from
It might as well be one and the same
If we said our lives through music
From here and now on
And everybody sang along
We'd sing a country song, oh, a country song
We'd be singing a country song
Tiny dogs and little bitty purses
Cosmos - everybody nurses
They get as trashed as we do, oh oh
Four kids, different baby daddy
Just hum, caught him with a fatty
That goes down in our town too
They call it Hollywood
It's not far from Dollywood
Just small towns with a different name
Dysfunctions, dysfunction
No matter what state you come from
It might as well be one and the same
If we said our lives through music
From here and now on
And everybody sang along
We'd sing a country song, oh, a country song
We'd be singing a country song
Yeah, it's backwoods all the way to Hollywood
It's one big reality show
Oh yeah, it's back to the W-O-O-D-S
All the same, no matter how you dress
What you drive or who you know
We're all stars in this Springer show
There's silicone and breastaline
Blowing up and getting thin
That's what you get when you set foot in
It's not far from Dollywood
Just small towns with a different name
Dysfunctions, dysfunction
No matter what state you come from
It might as well be one and the same
If we said our lives through music
From here and now on
And everybody sang along
We'd sing a country song, oh, a country song
We'd be singing a country song
It's backwoods all the way to Hollywood
It's one big reality show
Oh yeah, it's back to the W-O-O-D-S
We're all the same, no matter how you dress
We'd sing a country song, oh, a country song
Esco di scena e vado a camminare solo
sui marciapiedi io volo
sono straniero nella mia città
la gente passa mi vede e lo sa
Mi fermo, poi riparto, poi mi fermo ancora e osservo
la strada che si colora
c'è una faccia in vetrina... mi guarda e va via
Chi è lo straniero a casa mia?
...casa mia
E trovo Andy il matto che è vent'anni che è li
e mi dice qui va bene così
tanto tutto è troppo e basta quel che hai
e forse un giorno lo capirai
Ma te che ne sai
ma chi cazzo sei?
però so che ha ragione lui
perché lui è un matto autentico
e io troppo spesso mi dimentico che qui
Qui non è Hollywood
Qui non è Hollywood
Qui non è Hollywood
Qui non è Hollywood
Arriva il buio e la gente vai via svelta
e come per magia nelle telestazioni l'universo va in festa
ancora un altro giorno alla finestra
Ma uno straniero in fondo che ne sa
di come funziona e di come va
e anche se i sogni in questo posto finiscono in vino
anche se perdi sempre a tavolino qui
Qui non è Hollywood
Qui non è Hollywood
Qui non è Hollywood
Qui non è Hollywood
E anche se il film te l'aspettavi con un altro finale
e se qualcosa in fondo è andato male qui
Qui non è Hollywood
Qui non è Hollywood
Qui non è Hollywood
Whenever I
Walk on your breath
I'd hope you'd remember
Every word I said
Yea, some by the way have died
And that's trouble with art
Playin' in affairs of the heart
And Hollywood
Is so temperamental, my dear
Where are they now?
All of your friends have fallen by the wayside, my dear
They've all gone home
Whenever I lay down
Hoping to remember anything
To prove that she was ever around
I feel that I would fall into
A failed haze, for all
But out here they don't want me
Back at home they don't want you
Out here I have found
Where the trees are green
She's a dream, she's a dream
Getting caught up in the scene
Like a used car bought off of Mr Vaseline
She's a queen, she's a queen
Getting' played like a machine
And all the men pretend that they respect her when they leave
Hollywood
There's a man, there's a man
At least I think that he's a man
He's struttin' down the street with a diamond on his hand
Here's the band, hear the band
They're the hottest in the land
Just keeping up their contract for whatever's in demand
Hollywood
Socialite, socialite
Got a fancy appetite
And a hundred dollar habit that she goes to every night
But tonight, yes tonight
Tonight she'll do it right
When they find her dead, she won't be able to deny it
Hollywood
Sometimes I get so God Damned sick of these charades
This town is so opaque, I swear the bums are wearing shades
But I know that I'd be lying if I said it aint a thrill
Don't say I didn't warn you when the Devil brings the bill
Movie star, movie star in a tiny little car
Doing 90 on the 10 coming home from the bar
Big cigar, big cigar
And a smoking little car
He ran right off the road he didn't make it very far
Hollywood
See the Freak, See The Freak
He's the flavor of the week
The ratings all went up when they discovered he could speak
So let him speak, yes hear him speak
'his tone is so unique'
but by the time commercial hits, you know his fame has reached its peak
Hollywood
Now it doesn't really matter what I do or what I say
There's a millionaire buying every hour of the day
If you want to see some change you got to change it from the street
Change it with your hands, change it with your feet
Advertise, advertise
Slick and super size
Buy the car, find true love, and a dozen other lies
Surprise, oh surprise
Its what everybody buys
A fairytale fantasy, a demon in disguise
Hollywood
Molly would if she could
But she's stuck in Nebraska
I had a truck and so I asked her where she longed to be
'I dunno, you tell me
.life looks better on TV'
I said, 'You might as well
Be living in a plastic factory!
Oh, California, California, California,
Welcome to a place where no assembly or applause is required
And everybody is a star,
You’d be lucky to say it you did it all, did it before.
The picture is so vivid and the (scratch) is so raw,
Bump that
Its so ahhhh (ahhhh)
Welcome to Hollywood,

You live in a publics eye…
Look at me now you can see what they provide!
Ah, welcome to Hollywood,
Stars are made over night,
Just the other night I was another face on the bleachers
Its sacrifice,double up, siamese life
And now we’re so high, nobody can’t reach us!
Got this on my palm, hold on, for dare life,
Got a drive for it but the wheels always just stirred right
And it feels so nice to go shopping and not worrying about the price!
This is the life, the man, who got everything screwed on,
With the news on, you sit down with your fam
And they excited cause you on
Now all of yall sorry,
Cause I put in work while all of yall partied
If i was in L.A
If i was
If i was
(while all of yall partied)
California dreaming
Welcome to Hollywood,
On such a …. day!
This is the place where they Hollywood!
Flashing lights nascars
Fast cars
The only reason why you was with the last broad
And now people asking what you being a ass for
Cause we in a different class dog
Welcome to hollywood
As seen on tv
Security said no touching
Cause yall can't see me
Yall stevies
Your 2020's is 3D's
You aint got those your pointless
Jenna set up appointments
On top like its sexy time
Going in like the next in line
Upscale resturants
Waiters got on double D's like its the breast you want
You gota number u wait outside
"wat else you want"
And she's only 25
2 kids her man doin a bid
Dreams on gettin out the hood and doin it big
Picture of you in the crib
A dream come true
She prayed for this day
See how fast dreams come threw
(Hook)
Nothing in this life is free
Even if I had to get it
I could've got it for cheap
Just look at wat I provide
I'm at where I belong
Connected wit some of the hottest people now its on
Mother (scracthes)im strong
Check the sweat on my palm
Fought to get a gym got more
Cuts on my arm
Look at how I go threw changes
Lived long
Magic meets david blaine bitch
I'm gone
Competitive stages
Lyrical dangerous
Only conquer the main things that life came wit
And I aint go to cambridge
Different toilet but same shit
Ate enough how u think I gain shit
Ate enough so how I think I gain shit
Different outcomes but same trip
Now I'm in this game bitch
(Hook)
This is the place where they
This, this, this is the place where they Hollywood.
This, this, this is the place where they Hollywood
Hollywood where do you hide your stars
I just stood and watched banshees roam my yard
Knew there's some mistake I never crashed that car
So desperate to blame but had no place to start
So convinced this is not my dream
Cold water rinse and wake me
They want you to beg
But you won't bend a knee
Their eyes how they stare
But somehow they can't see
A visionary
Oh like me
But what would you do if you were free
Hollywood where do you hide your heart
Seemed so strange you only smiled in the dark
A sadist in pain embracing his own art
But the tears just dried and we were back at the start
Still so convinced this is not my dream
Cold water rinse and wake me
They want you to beg
But you won't bend a knee
Their eyes how they stare
But somehow they can't see
A visionary
Oh like me
Er zit een dier in mijn bed en het lijkt op jou
Het is midden in de zomer en het laat me koud
En je lijkt wel een kikker
Maar je billen zijn niet zo groen
Je zou beter verhuizen
Beter verhuizen
Beter verhuizen
Naar Hollywood
Er zit een kikker in de soep
Wacht ik haal je d'r uit
En al je vliegen zijn op en jij je kleren uit
Wie denk je dat ik ben dit hou ik niet vol
Je zou beter verhuizen
Beter verhuizen
Beter verhuizen
Naar Hollywood
Er zit een dier in mijn bed en het lijkt op jou
Het is midden in de zomer en dat laat me koud
En je lijkt wel een kikker
Maar je billen zijn niet zo groen
Je zou beter verhuizen
Beter verhuizen
Beter verhuizen
Naar Hollywood (5x)
