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! 
Hollywood
