She thought she wanted Hollywood
The bright lights, the fame
The crimson carpet
Calling her name.
She thought she wanted Hollywood.
The adoration, popularity
No more living in obscurity
She thought she wanted Hollywood.
A summer beach house
A marvelous mansion,
Just beyond the city lights.
She thought she wanted Hollywood
But then she found out the truth;
Hollywood is dead.
Everything you think you know
The media, the news, the tabloids
The gossip and rumors traveling around
Suffocating every last breath
Every last hopeful childhood memory,
Is now forgotten in the past.
Hollywood is now out of her grasp.
Once you know, once you learn
This place is no longer something
of which she yearns
It's now nothing more than a distant memory;
a forgotten American Dream---
Hollywood is dead.
Hollywood is dead.
