hollywood

You talk so loud, you talk so much 
And you talk so funny
But honey, what you talkin' about 
Something 'bout being, being 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 madmen

Oh my God
They sold Hollywood
Burned down my neighborhood
Even shot Robin Hood
And 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 smokescreens
With personal armies for everyone in between
With plastic rifles given to every team
What a beautiful dream
Even bullets have guarantees

And oh my God
They sold Hollywood
Burned down my neighborhood
Even shot Robin Hood
And 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 dispenser
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

And oh my God
They sold Hollywood
Burned down my neighborhood
Even shot Robin Hood
And oh my God
I guess it was never understood
To understand motherhood
Right from wrong
And the bad from the good

And oh my God
They sold Hollywood
Burned down my neighborhood
Even shot Robin Hood
And oh my God
Guess it was never understood
To understand brotherhood
Right from wrong
And the bad from the good
