Hollywood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
American queen is the American dream
American queen is the American dream
She is a Polish girl in America
Tall, tanned, hot blond, called Anja
I asked her: Why would you wanna be a Hollywood wife?
Because I don't want to end up living in a dive on Vine
You do anything for a dime
You're looking for the golden lie
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
Living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
A fat security making place for me
Soon as I touch down in old LA
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
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, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
American dream is the American queen
American queen is the American dream
Is the American dream
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, woo-hoo
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
