Hollywood (Acoustic) Lyrics

American queen is the American dream
American queen is the American dream

She is a Polish girl in America
Tall, tanned, hot, blond, called Anya
I asked her, "Why would you wanna be a Hollywood wife?"
- "Because I don't wanna end up living in a dive on Vine."

You'd do anything for a dime
You're looking for the golden lie.

[CHORUS:]
Hollywood infected your brain.
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh.
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

A fat security making place for me
Soon as I touch down in old L.A.
He said, "Oh, my god, you look just like Shakira.
No, no, you're Catherine Zeta."
- "Actually, my name's Marina"

Your mind is just like mine -
All filled up with things benign.
You're looking for the golden lie.

[CHORUS:]
Hollywood infected your brain.
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh.
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

It's an American queen with the American dream
American queen with the American dream, with the American dream

[CHORUS:]
Hollywood infected your brain.
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh.
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh

Hollywood infected your brain.
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh.
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh.
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
