The Wallflowers - Hollywood lyrics

And you talk so funny

But honey, whatcha talkin' about?

Somethin' about being, bein' reimbursed

For every unregistered virus.

Drainpipes are filled up with dirty rain

And the leisure train is speeding in the diamond lane

With electricity shut off again

Leaving the night life only for the madman.

Oh my God,

They've sold Hollywood

Burned down my neighborhood

Even shot Robin Hood

An' oh my God,

I guess it was never understood

To understand motherhood

Right from wrong

And the bad from the good.

Everybody's got their own smoke screens

With personal armies for everyone in between

With plastic rifles given to every team

What a beautiful dream, even bullets have guarantees.

Oh my God,

They've sold Hollywood

Burned down my neighborhood

Even shot Robin Hood

An' oh my God,

I guess it was never understood

To understand brotherhood

Right from wrong

And the bad from the good.

There's the sweetest evil image detector,

As sweet as nectar, an overrated candy dispensor.

She don't give food to eat, or anybody anyplace to sleep

But she can tell you what you can, and what you can't create.

Oh my God,

They've sold Hollywood

Burned down my neighborhood

Even shot Robin Hood

An' oh my God,

I guess it was never understood

To understand motherhood

Right from wrong

And the bad from the good.

Oh my God,

They've sold Hollywood

Burned down my neighborhood

Even shot Robin Hood

An' oh my God,

I guess it was never understood

To understand brotherhood

Right from wrong

And the bad from the good
