Hollywood

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 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!
