lyrics

oh, no, uh uh fooled by illusions
oh, no, uh uh confused by illusions
oh, no, uh uh these stupid illusions
no, no, i wont be fooled

On a silk persian rug they found her comatose
heartbeat stolen by a drug overdose
the outcome obvious but no one could stop it
money not an object parties, sex and shopping
she was living the life, living the dream
but it seems the dream ever means ampehtamines
todays train wreck yesterdays big thing
queen of the big screen at sweet sixteen
at every premiere they flocked for blocks to see her
every teenage girl in the world wanted to be her
lights, camera, action, she’s giddy
it's actually happening she’s traveling to the city
nothing this hot could ever veer cold
at the end remembered, she was eleven years old
told her dad and mom "I’d give my life to be famous"
sadly ironic that statement she made is

welcome to the show I promise its all real
and what's not my boss got to me promise to conceal
come on and take a tour of movie star homes, see the movie star clones
this here is broken dreams avenue-- oops
I mean Hollywood boulevard
the sky is a little dark but the sidewalk is full of stars
here's last resort drive, or Laurel Canyon
go north to abandon any moral companion
they come with such high hopes for Cali
end up down low in the San Fernando Valley
wait… I mean they live happily ever after
you and you and you, you could all be famous actors
we promise happiness now isn’t that nice?
your soul is for sale and we’ll give you half price
if we could give you less, hey, we probably would
hooray for hollywood

can I take your coat?
i'll take your dignity too
here's my business card
but you won't really need it cuz by the end of the evening
it'll be imprinted in you
sit back, relax, and enjoy the hors d'oeuvres
for the main course we got a smorgasbord
music awards, assorted billboards, primetime innuendo
movies as raunchy as possible
it won't taste great, let's pretend though
later we can play some video games too
I got this great new game - you
peep the size of these pockets
the greatest shock divided by the least common denominator equals profits
just watch the watch you are getting sleepy
every dark slumber is a credit card number
ask me how high when I say quick jump!
...seedy executive fist-bump
