There’s a man, there’s a man 
At least I think that he’s a man 
He’s struttin’ down the street with a diamond on his hand 
Here’s the band, hear the band 
They’re the hottest in the land 
Just keeping up their contract for whatever’s in demand 
Hollywood 

Socialite, socialite 
Got a fancy appetite 
And a hundred dollar habit that she goes to every night 
But tonight, yes tonight 
Tonight she’ll do it right 
When they find her dead, she won’t be able to deny it 
Hollywood 

Sometimes I get so God Damned sick of these charades 
This town is so opaque, I swear the bums are wearing shades 
But I know that I’d be lying if I said it aint a thrill 
Don’t say I didn’t warn you when the Devil brings the bill 

Movie star, movie star in a tiny little car 
Doing 90 on the 10 coming home from the bar 
Big cigar, big cigar 
And a smoking little car 
He ran right off the road he didn’t make it very far 
Hollywood 

See the Freak, See The Freak 
He’s the flavor of the week 
The ratings all went up when they discovered he could speak 
So let him speak, yes hear him speak 
“his tone is so unique” 
but by the time commercial hits, you know his fame has reached its peak 
Hollywood 

Now it doesn’t really matter what I do or what I say 
There’s a millionaire buying every hour of the day 
If you want to see some change you got to change it from the street 
Change it with your hands, change it with your feet 

Advertise, advertise 
Slick and super size 
Buy the car, find true love, and a dozen other lies 
Surprise, oh surprise 
Its what everybody buys 
A fairytale fantasy, a demon in disguise 
Hollywood 

Molly would if she could 
But she’s stuck in Nebraska 
I had a truck and so I asked her where she longed to be 
“I dunno, you tell me….life looks better on TV” 
I said, “You might as well 
Be living in a plastic factory! 
Hollywood

I can't believe the state I'm in 
I think I think too much and now my thoughts are wearing thin 
Where should I begin 
Oh it's just as well 

And all I wanted from you 
Love me like you wanted 
I can't keep your heart if your heart can't be kept satisfied 

I like to watch the sun go down 
?? on the other side of town 
Besides you ain't around, oh it's just as well 

So much for those summer days 
We use them up so quickly and 
Who cares anyway, oh it's just as well 

And all I wanted from you 
Love me like you wanted 
I can't keep your heart if your heart can't be kept satisfied 

So even if the walls crumble down 
Tumble down on me 
I could find my own way out 
I could set my own self free 

So tell me tell me what's the use 
I'm nothing but a singer with my head caught in the noose 
Somebody cut me loose 
Oh it's just as well 

I don't want no sympathy 
To feel a beating heart honey is what's ?? 
I know you don't agree 
Oh it's just as well 

And all I watned from you 
Love me like you wanted 
I can't keep your heart if your heart can't be kept satisfied 

All I wanted from you 
love me like you wanted 
I can't break your heart if your heart can't be kept satisfied 

Romeo and Juliet 
Were made for one another way before they even met 
Such a face I can't forget 
Oh it's just as well

and it’s so hard to find my way 
so hard to find my way 
so hard to find my way 

Poor Richard’s got himself a banjo 
he’s missing four strings but he ain’t even bothered 
he says: “sunshine gonna come my way, look out 
kid this might be my lucky day 

and it’s so hard to find my way 
so hard to find my way 
so hard to find my way 

red robin’s been a-workin in the kitchen 
got everything she needs, but everything’s a-missing 
she grew up with the radio, tattoo on 
her hip is to remind her so.... 

that it’s so hard to find my way 
so hard to find my way 
so hard to find my way 

you can say what you want 
you can do what you do 
but sometimes some things are chosen for you 
the life that you want and the life that you’ve been given 
are sometimes not even the life you’ve been living 

I know a man who’s been working for the city 
he pays his rent but his life is just a pitty 
he says: “nothing’s gonna change around here, 
im the same old man I’ve been for nearly 20 years” 

it’s so hard to find my way 
so hard to find my way 
so hard to find my way 

She turns heads wherever she’s a-walking 
she never speaks she lets her body do the talkin’ 
she’s daddy’s little baby girl 
but she ain’t living in daddy’s world
