There’s glamour on the silver screen

Like liquid mercury

Lives only to be seen

It shimmers and it glimmers

As it wraps its tendrils round your brain

Like a vapor dream

Hollywood kills everything

​

Created in a factory

In clouds up in the sky

Unicorns carry angels

To sing their songs on high

I’ll tell you, children, secrets of this place where bluebirds fly

So come to Hollywood, where dreams all come to die

​

I’ll pull the curtain open

I’ll give a word on high

A friendly little caveat

This whole place is a lie

Hollywood kills all it touches

It’s a swamp of creatures vile

They don’t gut you with a rusty blade

They do it with a smile

​

So c’mon, the starlet says

With eyes so baby blue

Give it to me, big boy

You know that I love you

You leap into her cold dead heart

And you can hardly wait

Now give me all your money, honey

Heartbreak is your personal fate

​

This little girl jumped from the sign

It’s like a lighthouse on the shoal

But when it’s time to turn and flee

Lured by the piper’s roll

Satan smiles and fame beguiles

It’s just a big black hole

Just another wasted dream

Hollywood kills everything

​

It’s no place for children

It’s no Kansas fair

It’s no place to wish or hope

It’s just a demon’s lair

​

By alchemy and other schemes

She’s a pie up in the sky

It’s a magnet for your dreams

Where only angels fly

​

So, c’mon, all you kids

Come to Hollywood on high

So, c’mon, you little children

It’s where the dreams all come to die

It’s just another wasted dream

Hollywood kills everything
