CATWALK

somehow

I managed to cram my ***

into these fashion pants

so I can make it to the days sales meeting

to check my fleeting self esteem

 

somehow

this all got out of hand

I misunderstand what I misunderstood

this sick trip down

becoming Johnny Hollywood

 

champagne glasses and next years denim

learning to look just right like them

just to get tight with em

learn right now

that you are small and you can never be like them

so learn to eat everything they're feeding

and pick your teeth clean

with the bones of those you're cheating

 

this is Hollywood

red carpets and models' stares

This is Hollywood

designer drugs on designer rugs up spiral stairs

this is Hollywood

rich ***** kids with tempers flared

this is the top of the world in your dreams

and no one else really cares

 

somehow

I managed to fight this depression

looking for a job in a recession

my hair lines recession

partying like it's an obsession

somehow

this rip off called growing up

has me over a toilet throwing up

gagging on everything I misunderstood

becoming Johnny Hollywood

 

model chicks posing and poser friends

learning to look at them both with the same fake grin

learning right now

that you will live to lie and do it again

you'll bite your tounge to the powers

and when your dream fails

you'll buy new friends

 

this is Hollywood

******* business cards and winks

this is Hollywood

everyone talks but nobody thinks

this is Hollywood

hit top but beware if you sink

when you're number one everyone loves you and stares

but when you're Johnny Hollywood

nobody else really ******* cares
