[Verse 1]
I knew I wanted to be heard
But not like this
Didn't know what lied behind the cameras
There's so much you don't see
There's a reason why the carpet's red
Take and my word and believe me
You may not want to get too far ahead
[Pre-Chorus]
I must have it good cause
I have so much money
And I'm living it up sweeter than honey
I have met a few good friends
But seemed to loose my true ones
When you chasing your dreams
Remember to not live in silver and gold
Know what the future truly holds
Then you won't have to say
[Chorus]
Under the Hollywood sign
Is where everyone is blind
This place will change every single part of you
You're lucky if what you have left is true
Inside the angel city
Where it is nasty and gritty
So much fame but so many frustrations
And then there's LA hallucinations
[Verse 2]
Growing up I saw them on the TV
And thought, hey, one day that will be me
Well I guess I was right
But if I would have knew
I swear I would have stopped dreaming and said goodnight
Cause it will ruin you; smile in front of everyone
But behind this is a burned out sun
[Pre-Chorus]
I must have it good cause
I have so much money
And I'm living it up sweeter than honey
I have met a few good friends
But seemed to loose my true ones
When you chasing your dreams
Remember to not live in silver and gold
Know what the future truly holds
Then you won't have to say
[Chorus]
Under the Hollywood sign
Is where everyone is blind
This place will change every single part of you
You're lucky if what you have left is true
Inside the angel city
Where it is nasty and gritty
So much fame but so many frustrations
And then there's LA hallucinations
[Bridge]
Fortune and fame
What they don't tell you
Little pleasure, much pain
The angel city isn't for you
Listen cause I'm telling you
[Chorus]
Under the Hollywood sign
Is where everyone is blind
This place will change every single part of you
You're lucky if what you have left is true
Inside the angel city
Where it is nasty and gritty
So much fame but so many frustrations
And then there's LA hallucinations
