Hollywood

The glamour and the lights

No such thing as winter night

Celebrity sights?

Let me show you my contact lists

But there's so much untold

Open your eyes and behold

Listen on the train, to the babies fuss

Avoid the screaming man, he's ******

Beverly Hills misinterpretation 

Really lived off 7th and metro station

The man sitting next to you coming down

Was once a successful businessman downtown

There is no American Dream

Everything is a money making scheme

The single mother with those twins

She was ***** walking from work in the heights

Everybody knows everybody

But nobody's are nothing's

Cheating husband, double life

He's got a boyfriend, don't tell his wife

The city of Angeles

Not everybody wins

Watch out for the forgotten demons

Not everyone lives under city lights

Yet we all have to figure out our way

Taking any opportunity we could

But I'm living just another day

In Hollywood
