Mann's Chinese

Gilded ghetto
Hollywood stained below
'bout every street I know
About some girls from Tokyo
Can't believe they even care
So crowd around and put your hands down there
He's been dead almost thirty years
No I don't belong here
No I don't belong here
Never gonna bend and I'm never gonna break
Everybody fronts, everybody fakes
Never gonna stop and I'm never gonna stay
Here at the Mann's Chinese
Mann's Chinese
Used to live right near
They built a bar called the New Frontier
With chartreuse drinks and atmosphere
They closed it up the very same year
Then Batman II premiered
You could feel the riots in the air
All the natives sitting and sipping beer
and they're thinking
No we don't belong here
No we don't belong here
Never gonna bend never gonna break
Everybody fronts, everybody fakes
Never gonna stop, never gonna stay
Everybody watch, everybody wave
Boulevard of dreams, everything it seems
Shine and you believe
I've gotta get away no I'm never gonna stay
Here at the Mann's Chinese
Mann's Chinese
Frederick's burned down
There were mourners all around
Fear swept through the theatre crowd
they're thinking
No we don't belong here
No we dont' belong here
Never gonna bend never gonna break
Everybody fronts, everybody fakes
Never gonna stop never gonna stay
Everybody watch, everybody wave
Boulevard of dreams everything it seems
Shine and you believe
I've gotta get away no I'm never gonna stay
Here at the Mann's Chinese
Mann's Chinese
The Mann's Chinese
