"Hollywood?s Cruel"

At least one hundred thousand people, on any given night,
Are dreaming down the boulevard, that famous strip of lights

Some dream about the future, some still dream about the past
Telling tales of how it takes so long, but slipped away so fast

Chorus HOLLYWOOD'S CRUEL, HOLLYWOOD FOOL,
HOLLYWOOD'S CRUEL, HOLLYWOOD FOOL,
IT AIN'T NO PRETTY STORY OF LIFE

Just a desert planted power town,
Where the wisdom of the wise could once be found
Painting pictures, adding sound,
To control your smile, and to force your frown

And the people who can help you there
Have discriminating eyes and ears
They turn a poor man to a billionaire
But they take the lion's share

HOLLYWOOD'S CRUEL, IT'S SO HARD TO GET IT RIGHT
HOLLYWOOD FOOL, IF YOU'RE LIVIN' FOR ONE NIGHT
HOLLYWOOD'S CRUEL, AND IF YOU'RE CHASIN' AFTER GLORY
HOLLYWOOD FOOL, IT AIN'T NO PRETTY STORY OF LIFE

Bridge But, I still need to try this dream...
Because it's just so deep inside


Some dream about the future, some dream about the past
Tellin' tales of how it takes so long, slip away so fast

HOLLYWOOD'S CRUEL, IT'S SO HARD TO GET IT RIGHT
HOLLYWOOD FOOL, ARE YOU LIVIN' FOR ONE NIGHT?
HOLLYWOOD'S CRUEL, IF YOU'RE CHASIN' AFTER GLORY
HOLLYWOOD FOOL, IT AIN'T NO PRETTY STORY OF LIFE
