Jackie Greene - Hollywood lyrics

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 ain't 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!
